UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

DAVID L. DEW, 

Petitioner,

v. 

SHAWN HATTON, Warden, et al., 

Respondents.

Case No.: 16cv1985-MMA (MDD)

ORDER DISMISSING PETITION 

FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS 

FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION 

On August 5, 2016, Petitioner David L. Dew (“Petitioner”), a state prisoner, filed a 

petition for writ of habeas corpus (“petition”) pursuant to Title 28 of the United States 

Code, Section 2254. See Doc. No. 1. On July 24, 2017, the Court issued an order 

adopting the Recommendation of the magistrate judge that the petition be dismissed, and 

dismissed the petition with prejudice. See Doc. No. 13. The Clerk of Court entered 

judgment the same day. See Doc. No. 14. Petitioner appealed. See Doc. No. 15. 

On November 30, 2018, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit 

issued an order vacating the judgment, and remanding with instructions to dismiss the 

petition for lack of jurisdiction. See Doc. No. 19. The Ninth Circuit noted that Petitioner 

previously filed a § 2254 petition challenging the same California conviction for seconddegree felony murder. See S.D. Cal. Case No. 3:98-cv-1533-J-POR. That petition was 

denied with prejudice on September 30, 1990, and the Ninth Circuit affirmed in Dew v.

Clarke, 424 F.3d 381 (9th Cir. 2000). Moreover, the Ninth Circuit indicated that 

Petitioner has neither sought nor been granted authorization to file a second or successive 

§ 2254 petition. See Doc. No. 19 at 2. Thus, the Court lacked jurisdiction to entertain the 

second petition. 

Accordingly, in light of the Ninth Circuit’s order, the Court DISMISSES the 

second or successive petition for writ of habeas corpus for lack of jurisdiction pursuant to 

28 U.S.C. § 2244(b) without prejudice. See Burton v. Stewart, 549 U.S. 147, 157 (2007). 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: December 4, 2018
