UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANTHONY C. HUCKABEE,

Petitioner,

v.

RON DAVIS, Warden,

Respondents.

No. 2:14-cv-2298 KJN P

ORDER

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding without counsel, has filed an application for a writ 

of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, together with a request to proceed in forma 

pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915, and a request for appointment of counsel. Petitioner 

consented to proceed before the undersigned for all purposes. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(c). 

Examination of the in forma pauperis affidavit reveals that petitioner is unable to afford 

the costs of suit. Accordingly, the request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis is granted. See

28 U.S.C. § 1915(a).

The court’s records reveal that petitioner previously filed an application for a writ of 

habeas corpus attacking the conviction and sentence challenged in this case. The previous 

application was filed on July 5, 2001, and was denied on the merits on August 10, 2006. 

Huckabee v. Adams, Case No. 2:01-cv-1795 DFL CMK (E.D. Cal.). Before petitioner can 

proceed with the instant application, he must move in the United States Court of Appeals for the

Ninth Circuit for an order authorizing the district court to consider the application. 28 U.S.C. 

§ 2244(b)(3). Therefore, petitioner’s application must be dismissed without prejudice to its refiling upon obtaining authorization from the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

premature.

1. Petitioner’s application to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 5) is granted;

2. Petitioner’s motion to appoint counsel (ECF No. 3) is denied without prejudice; and

3. This action is dismissed without prejudice.
