UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT

In re:

WILLIAM GENE EATON,

Movant.

No. 07-6296

(D.C. No. 5:98-CR-00183-DLR)

(W.D. Okla.)

ORDER

Movant William Gene Eaton, a federal prisoner, filed a motion in the

district court that constituted an attempt to file a second or successive 28 U.S.C.

§ 2255 motion. Because Mr. Eaton had not obtained authorization from this court

in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 2255 para. 8 and § 2244(b)(3) before filing the

motion, the district court transferred the motion to this court on December 19,

2007. See Coleman v. United States, 106 F.3d 339, 341 (10th Cir. 1997) (per

curiam) (directing district courts to transfer unauthorized second or successive

§ 2255 motions to this court in the interest of justice pursuant to 28 U.S.C.

§ 1631).

On December 20, 2007, Mr. Eaton was sent written notice by this court

giving him thirty days to file a motion in this court for permission to file a second

or successive § 2255 motion. That deadline was later extended to February 1,

2008. To date, Mr. Eaton has not filed the requested motion for permission.

Accordingly, the matter is DISMISSED.
