No. CR-00-01222-001-PCT-PGR 

 ORDER

 

 

Pending before the Court is the defendant’s Motion to Set Aside “Guilty” Plea

Under Rule 11(e) (Fed.R.Crim. Procedure Rule 11(e)) (Doc. 58), filed July 19, 2012.

Rule 11(e) provides that once a court imposes sentence, a defendant may not

withdraw his plea of guilty and it may be set aside only by direct appeal or on

collateral attack. The defendant filed this motion after he exhausted his direct

appeal, and after his original motion filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 was denied

by this Court on March 7, 2011 as being time-barred; the Ninth Circuit Court of

Appeals dismissed the defendant’s appeal of the denial of his original § 2255 motion

on August 27, 2012 (Case No. 12-15872) by denying the issuance of a certificate of

appealability. Notwithstanding how the defendant’s motion is titled, it is properly

construed as an attempt to file a second or successive § 2255 motion which he may

 The Court notes that the defendant filed a similar Rule 11(e) motion with

the Ninth Circuit on June 4, 2012, in Case No. 12-15872, which the Ninth Circuit

denied on August 27, 2012 in conjunction with its denial of the issuance of a

certificate of appealability.

 The Court further notes that the Ninth Circuit has on five other occasions

denied the defendant either a certificate of appealability or permission to file a

second or successive § 2255 motion raising the same general claims. See No.12-

70579 (permission to file a successive § 2255 motion denied on May 14, 2012); No.

12-16584 (certificate of appealability denied on August 27, 2012); No.12-72918

(permission to file a successive § 2255 motion denied on October 19, 2012); No. 13-

70036 (permission to file a successive § 2255 motion denied on March 29, 2013);

and No. 13-70977 (permission to file a successive § 2255 motion denied on May 28,

2013).

not properly bring without the prior permission of the Ninth Circuit.1 United States v.

Allen, 157 F.3d 661, 664 (9th Cir.1998). Since the defendant has not obtained that

required permission, the Court has no authority to consider the merits of the

defendant’s motion. Therefore, 

IT IS ORDERED that defendant Ivan Ray Begay’s Motion to Set Aside “Guilty”

Plea Under Rule 11(e) (Fed.R.Crim. Procedure Rule 11(e)) (Doc. 58) is denied.

DATED this 13th day of June, 2013.
