Petitioner has submitted what the court has determined to be a successive petition to his

be met to obtain authorization from the Court of Appeals are found in 28 U.S.C. §2244(b), as

amended. The amendments are available in the unit law library, or by contacting the Clerk,

Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals, Thomas F. Eagleton Courthouse, 111 S. 10th Street, St. Louis,

Mo. 63102, for more information.

THEREFORE, the pending petition for habeas corpus relief is hereby dismissed,

pending an order from the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals containing authorization for filing.

IT IS SO ORDERED this 19th day of August ,2005.
