| Carder v. Sci Forest Superintendent
Carder v. Sci Forest Superintendent
MARCUS CARDER, Petitioner.v.SCI FOREST SUPERINTENDENT, et al., Respondents.
The petitioner, Marcus Carder, is a state prisoner who is in custody pursuant to a judgment of sentence imposed by the Court of Common Pleas of Erie County in 2007 at Criminal Docket No. 3014 of 2006. He has filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 in which he challenges that judgment of sentence. The Court may dismiss the petition prior to service if it plainly appears that Carder is not entitled to habeas relief. 28 U.S.C. § 2243; Rule 4 of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases In the U.S. District Courts. That is the case here because the petition is second or successive and Carder has not received from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit an order authorizing this Court to consider it, as required by 28 U.S.C. § 2244(b)(3)(A). Accordingly, it is respectfully recommended that the petition be summarily dismissed for lack of jurisdiction and that a certificate of appealability be denied.
On January 30, 2007, the Court of Common Pleas of Erie County sentenced Carder to a maximum term of 10 years of incarceration at Criminal Docket No. 3014 of 2006.
In December of 2009, Carder filed with this Court a pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 in which he challenged the state judgment of sentence imposed upon him by Court of Common Pleas of Erie County at Criminal Docket No. 3014 of 2006. That habeas case was docketed as Carder v. Superintendent Lawler, et al., No. 1:09-cv-313 (W.D. Pa.). The Court subsequently dismissed it as untimely under the applicable statute of limitations, which is set forth in the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 ("AEDPA"), 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d).
AEDPA also mandates that before a state prisoner may file a second or successive habeas corpus petition in which he challenges a judgment of sentence that he previously challenged in a federal habeas action, he must first obtain an order from the court of appeals authorizing the district court to consider the petition. 28 U.S.C. § 2244(b)(3)(A). See, e.g., Magwood v. Patterson , 561 U.S. 320 (2010). See also United States v. Winkelman , 746 F.3d 134, 135 (3d Cir. 2014); In re Pendleton , 732 F.3d 280, 282 (3d Cir. 2013) (per curiam). Once a petitioner moves for authorization to file a second or successive petition, a three-judge panel of the court of appeals must decide within thirty days whether there is a prima facie showing that the application satisfies § 2244's substantive requirements, which are set forth in § 2244(b)(2). See U.S.C. § 2244(b)(3)(C). AEDPA's allocation of "gatekeeping" responsibilities to the courts of appeals has divested district courts of jurisdiction over habeas petitions that are second or successive filings. See, e.g., Burton v. Stewart , 549 U.S. 147 (2007).
On or around May 12, 2014, Carder filed with this Court the instant habeas petition pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. [ECF No. 2]. In it, he once again challenges the state judgment of sentence imposed upon him by the Court of Common Pleas of Erie County at Criminal Docket No. 3014 of 2006. Because he has not received from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit permission to file a second or successive petition, this Court must dismiss the petition for lack of jurisdiction. See, e.g., Burton , 549 U.S. at 152-54.
