Text: 10 The district court had jurisdiction over Carriger's first habeas petition and Carriger timely appealed the court's summary judgment order and its refusal to vacate the summary judgment order. We therefore have jurisdiction over the claims raised in that appeal (No. 87-1549). Once Carriger filed the notice of appeal, however, the district court lost jurisdiction over Carriger's habeas petition. Smith v. Lujan, 588 F.2d 1304, 1307 (9th Cir.1979). We informed Carriger of this jurisdictional hurdle and explained the procedure he was required to follow to revest the district court with jurisdiction. Because Carriger did not follow that procedure, the district court lacked jurisdiction to consider Carriger's subsequent Rule 60(b) motions. The district court's June 5, 1990, and July 25, 1991, orders are therefore vacated (Nos. 90-16013, 90-16016, 91-16334). 11 The remaining action is Carriger's second petition for a writ of habeas corpus (No. 91-70614). The petition was addressed directly to this panel. However, a habeas petition may not be made to a panel of circuit judges, but must be made to a specific circuit judge. 28 U.S.C. § 2254(a). 1 Because we do not have jurisdiction to consider Carriger's second habeas petition, we dismiss it without prejudice. 2
