BENAVIDES, Circuit Judge,
dissenting:
I believe that the applicant has failed to make a prima facie showing either: that “the factual predicate for the claim could not have been discovered previously through the exercise of due diligence,” or that “the facts underlying the claim, if proven and viewed in light of the evidence as a whole, would be sufficient to establish by clear and convincing evidence that, but for constitutional error, no reasonable fact-finder would have found the applicant guilty of the underlying offense.”1 Therefore, I would deny leave to file a successive habeas petition. Accordingly, I would also deny the motion for stay of execution.
