UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT

In re:

RONALD G. SPARKS,

Movant.

No. 08-6057

(D.C. No. 07-CV-441-R)

(W.D. Okla.)

ORDER

Movant Ronald G. Sparks, a federal prisoner, filed a motion in the district

court that constituted an attempt to file a second or successive 28 U.S.C. § 2255

motion. Because Mr. Sparks had not obtained authorization from this court in

accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 2255(h) and § 2244(b)(3) before filing the motion,

the district court transferred the motion to this court on March 7, 2008. See

Coleman v. United States, 106 F.3d 339, 341 (10th Cir. 1997) (per curiam)

(directing district courts to transfer unauthorized second or successive § 2255

motions to this court in the interest of justice pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1631).

On March 14, 2008, Mr. Sparks was sent written notice by this court giving

him thirty days to file a motion in this court for permission to file a second or

successive § 2255 motion. That deadline was later extended to April 21, 2008.

To date, Mr. Sparks has not filed the requested motion for permission.

Accordingly, the matter is DISMISSED.
