UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

NYLES LAWAYNE WATSON, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

J. PRICE, 

Respondent. 

No. 2:14-cv-2929 MCE GGH P 

ORDER 

 Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, is proceeding with an application for a writ 

of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On February 18, 2015, petitioner filed a motion 

entitled “motion to move United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit for an order 

authorizing the district court to consider the application pursuant to: 28 U.S.C. 2244(b)(3) For 

relief from judgment under Federal Rules of Court Civil Procedure 60(b)(2), (5).” On March 4, 

2015, this action was dismissed and judgment was entered. 

 Although petitioner’s motion was premature at the time it was filed, it may now be 

considered. It appears from the face page of this motion that petitioner intended this filing for the 

Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and sent it there for filing, as it was received by that court on 

February 18, 2015, while the current action was still pending. Now that judgment has been 

entered, and pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2244(b)(3), petitioner’s motion for permission to file a 

second or successive application may be considered by the Court of Appeals.
