PER CURIAM.

Before the court is respondent's motion to vacate a stay of execution entered by

the district court. We grant the motion and vacate the stay.

On November 14, 2005, petitioner filed a pleading captioned "Petition for Writ

of Habeas Corpus" accompanied by a motion for stay of execution. The district court

On January 23, 2003, the district court denied habeas relief and dismissed CV00339. We affirmed this action on December 10, 2004. Our mandate issued on

October 12, 2005. The case is closed.

construed the petition as a requested amendment to the previously filed1

 petition in

district court, case number: 5:00-CV-00339 ("CV-00339"). The district court, after

making findings of fact and conclusions of law, granted a motion to amend the habeas

corpus petition, and granted the stay of execution.

On January 24, 2005, petitioner filed a petition to remand in CV:00339 seeking

the same relief sought in the present filings. Construing the motion to remand as a

motion to file a successive 28 U.S.C. § 2244 habeas petition, we denied the motion.

We view the present filings as yet another attempt to avoid the requirements of 28

U.S.C. § 2244(b)(3)(A). 

Accordingly, we deny a motion for interlocutory appeal, vacate the district

court's stay of execution and dismiss the petition for habeas corpus.
