Northern District of California

San Francisco Division

FERNANDO AVILA PEREZ

(CDCR # V-63964), 

Petitioner,

v.

K. HOLLAND, Warden, 

Respondent.

_____________________________________/

No. 15-cv-4725 LB

ORDER OF DISMISSAL 

[Re: ECF Nos. 1, 2, 3]

Fernando Avila Perez, currently incarcerated at Pelican Bay State Prison, filed a pro se petition

for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 to challenge his 2004 conviction in Monterey

County Superior Court for premeditated attempted murder and discharging a firearm into an

occupied vehicle. Mr. Perez has consented to proceed before a magistrate judge. (ECF No. 6.)1

 

The petition is not Mr. Perez’s first federal habeas petition concerning that conviction. His first

habeas petition was dismissed on March 8, 2010, as barred by the habeas statute of limitations. 

See Perez v. Runnells, No. C 08-3426 CW. In that earlier action, the district court denied a

certificate of appealability in 2010, and the Ninth Circuit denied a certificate of appealability in 2010

and 2011. 

A second or successive petition may not be filed in this court unless the petitioner first obtains

from the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit an order authorizing this court to

consider the petition. 28 U.S.C. § 2244(b)(3)(A).

ORDER 2

Mr. Perez has not obtained an order from the Ninth Circuit permitting the filing of a second or

successive petition. This court will not entertain a new petition from Mr. Perez until he first obtains

permission from the Ninth Circuit to file such a petition. This action is DISMISSED without

prejudice to Mr. Perez filing a petition in this court after he obtains the necessary order from the

Ninth Circuit. 

If Mr. Perez wants to attempt to obtain the necessary order from the Ninth Circuit, he should file

an “Application For Leave To File Second Or Successive Petition” in the Ninth Circuit (at 95

Seventh Street, San Francisco, CA 94103). A copy of the form application is enclosed with this

order for his convenience. 

Mr. Perez’s “motion for inclusion, augmentation and correction of record” is DENIED as moot

because this action is being dismissed. (ECF No. 2.)

Mr. Perez’s in forma pauperis application is GRANTED. (ECF No. 3.) 

The clerk shall close the file.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
