No. C 16-5048 CRB (PR)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

(ECF No. 4)

Petitioner, a state prisoner currently incarcerated at North Kern State

Prison, has filed a second or successive petition for a writ of habeas corpus under

28 U.S.C. § 2254. His first petition was denied on the merits on July 31, 2003. 

See Duong v. McGrath, No. 03-0127 CRB (N.D. Cal. July 31, 2003) (order).

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 obtained such an order from the Ninth Circuit. 

The petition accordingly is DISMISSED without prejudice to refiling if petitioner

obtains the necessary order.

But based solely on petitioner’s affidavit of poverty, his application to

proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 4) under 28 U.S.C. § 1915 is GRANTED.

The clerk shall close the file, terminate all pending motions as moot and

enter judgment in accordance with this order. 

SO ORDERED.

DATED: Oct. 14, 2016
