UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT

In re:

FREDERICK SMITH,

Movant.

No. 07-3310

ORDER

Filed January 11, 2008

Before KELLY, McCONNELL, and TYMKOVICH, Circuit Judges.

Frederick Smith has filed a motion for authorization to file a second or

successive habeas corpus petition in which he seeks to challenge a Sedgwick

County, Kansas conviction, No. 85-CR-240. Because Mr. Smith has never filed

an initial petition for habeas relief in federal district court challenging this

conviction, he does not need our authorization to file his petition in district court.

Accordingly, Mr. Smith’s motion for authorization is DISMISSED as

unnecessary. This case is now closed. 

Entered for the Court

ELISABETH A. SHUMAKER, Clerk
