Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
Lenthell Lalince Rosemond, federal prisoner # 21320-077, moves for authorization to file a successive 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion to challenge his convictions for conspiring to commit bank robbery, aiding and abetting entry into a bank to commit robbery, aiding and abetting armed bank robbery, and aiding and abetting the carrying of a firearm during a crime of violence. He seeks to raise claims that (1) he received an improper career offender adjustment pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 4B1.1 in light of, inter alia, Descamps v. United States, — U.S.-, 133 S.Ct. 2276, 186 L.Ed.2d 438 (2013), and Moncrieffe v. Holder, — U.S.-, 133 S.Ct. 1678, 185 L.Ed.2d 727 (2013), and (2) his conviction under 18 U.S.C. § 924(c) was unconstitutional in several respects based upon affidavit evidence.
This court may authorize the filing of a second or successive § 2255 motion only if the movant makes a prima facie showing that his claims rely on either (1) "newly discovered evidence that, if proven and viewed in light of the evidence as a whole, would be sufficient to establish by clear and convincing evidence that no reasonable factfinder would have found the movant guilty of the offense" or (2) "a new rule of constitutional law, made retroactive to cases on collateral review by the Supreme Court, that was previously unavailable." § 2255(h); see also 28 U.S.C. § 2244(b)(3)(C).
In re Jackson makes clear that "[w]hen a movant relies on a new rule of constitutional law to make the showing required under § 2255(h)(2), he 'must point to a Supreme Court decision that either expressly declares the collateral availability of the rule (such as by holding or stating that the particular rule upon which the petitioner seeks to rely is retroactively available on collateral review) or applies the rule in a collateral proceeding.' " No. 14-30805, — F.3d-, -, 2015 WL 127370, at *1 (5th Cir. Jan. 8, 2015) (per curiam) (quoting In re Smith, 142 F.3d 832, 835 (5th Cir.1998), and citing In re Tatum, 233 F.3d 857, 859 (5th Cir.2000) (per curiam)). The Supreme Court has not made Descamps retroactively applicable to cases on collateral review. In re Jackson, — F.3d at -, 2015 WL 127370, at *3.
Rosemond also purports to rely on newly discovered evidence in the form of affidavits from two of his co-conspirators to support claims that he was improperly convicted of aiding and abetting the carrying of a firearm during a crime of violence. Rosemond claims in his motion that someone named "Bubba" provided his co-conspirators with the firearm at issue; yet, the affidavits do not mention "Bubba." Moreover, the affidavits do not "establish by clear and convincing evidence that no reasonable factfinder would have found [Rosemond] guilty of the [§ 924(c) ] offense," particularly since Rosemond fails to summarize or address with any specificity the evidence of his guilt that was adduced at trial. § 2255(h)(1).
Rosemond has not made the necessary showing. IT IS ORDERED that Rose-mond's motion for authorization to file a successive § 2255 motion is DENIED.
Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
. To the extent Rosemond relies on Moncrieffe for relief, he has not shown that Moncrieffe contains a new rule of constitutional law that applies retroactively to cases on collateral review. Cf. In re Jackson,— F.3d at -, 2015 WL 127370, at *1-2; see also Moncrieffe, 133 S.Ct. at 1687.
