IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LAWRENCE HAMILTON,

Petitioner,

 v.

RICK HILL, Warden,

Respondent.

/

No. C 15-2011 WHA (PR) 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Petitioner, a state prisoner currently incarcerated at Folsom State Prison, has filed a

second or successive petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. He

challenges a conviction and sentence from Alameda County Superior Court in 2006. He

challenged the same criminal judgment in a prior petition. See Hamilton v. Evans, No. C. 09-

3072 WHA (PR). A second or successive petition may not be filed in this court unless

petitioner first obtains from the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit an order

authorizing this court to consider the petition. See 28 U.S.C. § 2244(b)(3)(A). Petitioner has

not sought or obtained such an order from the Ninth Circuit. The petition is accordingly

DISMISSED without prejudice to refiling if petitioner obtains the necessary order.

No certificate of appealability is warranted in this case because a reasonable jurist would

not find the dismissal of this petition debatable or wrong. Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484

(2000). The clerk shall enter judgment and close the file. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: July 30 , 2015.
