UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RIYAH ALI,

Petitioner,

 vs.

MIKE KNOWLES, Warden,

Respondent. /

No. C 08-0864 PJH (PR)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

This is a habeas case brought pro se by a state prisoner. Petitioner has, however,

had a previous case attacking the same judgment. See Ali v. Alameida, C 02-3889 PJH. It

was dismissed as barred by the statute of limitations. Id., order, Aug. 11, 2003. This thus

is a second or successive petition. See Murray v. Greiner, 394 F.3d 78, 81 (2d Cir. 2005)

(petition filed after previous petition was dismissed as untimely is second or successive). 

A habeas petitioner may not file a second or successive petition unless he or she

first obtains from the appropriate United States Court of Appeals an order authorizing the

filing. See 28 U.S.C. § 2244(b)(3)(A). Petitioner has not obtained such an order from the

Ninth Circuit. The petition is accordingly DISMISSED without prejudice to filing a new

petition if petitioner obtains the necessary order.

The clerk shall close the file.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 5, 2008.
