UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT

In re:

STANTON S. HOLT,

Movant.

No. 08-3177

(D.C. No. 5:08-CV-03145-SAC)

(D. Kan.)

ORDER

Before TACHA, EBEL, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.

Stanton S. Holt, a Kansas state prisoner proceeding pro se, moves for

authorization to file a second or successive 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas petition. 

The district court denied Mr. Holt’s initial habeas petition in 2001, and we denied

a certificate of appealability and dismissed the appeal. Mr. Holt sought leave

from this court to file a second habeas petition in 2004, and we denied his request

for authorization. Because Mr. Holt admits in his current motion for

authorization that the claims he seeks to bring were raised in a prior habeas

petition, they must be dismissed. See 28 U.S.C. § 2244(b)(1) (“A claim presented

in a second or successive habeas corpus application under section 2254 that was

presented in a prior application shall be dismissed.”). Accordingly, the motion

for authorization is DENIED. This denial of authorization is not appealable and

shall not be the subject of a petition for rehearing or for a writ of certiorari. See

28 U.S.C. § 2244(b)(3)(E).
