Before TYMKOVICH, Chief Judge, KELLY and LUCERO, Circuit Judges.

_________________________________

Oscar G. Salomon seeks authorization to file a successive 28 U.S.C. § 2254 

habeas petition. In order to be eligible for authorization, Mr. Salomon must show that the 

successive habeas claim he seeks to file relies on either “a new rule of constitutional law, 

made retroactive to cases on collateral review by the Supreme Court, that was previously 

unavailable,” or new facts that “could not have been discovered previously through the 

exercise of due diligence” and that “if proven and viewed in light of the evidence as a 

whole, would be sufficient to establish by clear and convincing evidence that, but for 

constitutional error, no reasonable factfinder would have found [him] guilty of the 

underlying offense.” 28 U.S.C. § 2244(b)(2). But he admits in his motion for 

authorization that his claim does not rely on a new rule of constitutional law nor does it 

rely on newly discovered evidence. See Mot. for Auth. at 8-9. 

Because Mr. Salomon has failed to meet the requirements for authorization in 

§ 2244(b)(2), we deny his motion. This denial of authorization “shall not be appealable
