UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT

No. 20-1207

_________________________________

Before BACHARACH, PHILLIPS, and MORITZ, Circuit Judges.

_________________________________

Movant Jason Harris, proceeding pro see, seeks authorization pursuant to 

28 U.S.C. § 2244(b)(3)(a) to file a second or successive 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion in 

district court. Mr. Harris indicates he has not previously filed a § 2255 motion. To the 

extent Mr. Harris has not yet filed a first § 2255 motion, authorization is unnecessary. 

But out of an abundance of caution, we grant authorization in the event Mr. Harris has, in 

fact, filed a § 2255 motion previously. In any event, and in the interest of justice, we 

direct the Clerk pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1631 to transfer the motion for authorization to 

the district court for the District of Colorado for filing as either a first § 2255 motion or 

an authorized second or successive § 2255 motion. The filing date of the § 2255 motion 

is June 4, 2020, the date the motion for authorization was filed in this court.
