IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANTONIO LUIS WILLIAMS,

Plaintiff,

 v.

W.J. SULLIVAN,

Defendants. /

No. C 07-03376 CW (PR)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

(Docket no. 8)

Petitioner, a state prisoner, filed this pro se petition for

writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. He has paid

the full filing fee. Petitioner has filed a previous petition for

a writ of habeas corpus with this Court, challenging the same

conviction and sentence. See Case No. C 02-2310 CW (PR). The

Court denied the first petition on the merits.

DISCUSSION

The Court finds the present petition is a second or successive

petition attacking the same conviction and sentence as Petitioner's

prior federal habeas petition. A second or successive petition

containing new claims may not be filed in the district court unless

Petitioner first obtains from the United States Court of Appeals an

order authorizing the district court to consider the petition. 28

U.S.C. § 2244(b)(3)(A). Petitioner has not done so. Accordingly,

this petition is DISMISSED without prejudice to filing a new habeas

action if Petitioner obtains the necessary order.

Petitioner has filed a document entitled "Motion to Omit,

Amend Federal Cases In Support of Relief to Habeas Corpus, Claims:

Collateral Attack" (docket no. 8). In the motion, Petitioner names

four cases decided by the United States Supreme Court and the Ninth

Circuit. He asks the Court to consider them in support of his

claims. In light of the fact that the Court is dismissing this

action, the Court DENIES his motion without prejudice to renewing

his request if he files a new habeas action.

CONCLUSION

For the foregoing reasons, the petition is DISMISSED pursuant

to 28 U.S.C. § 2244(b). 

Petitioner's "Motion to Omit, Amend Federal Cases In Support

of Relief to Habeas Corpus, Claims: Collateral Attack" (Docket no.

8) is DENIED without prejudice.

The Clerk of the Court shall enter judgment in accordance with

this Order, terminate all other pending motions, and close the

file.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
