KING, Circuit Judge, concurring:
  

   I concur in the judgment and in Judge Southwick's opinion. Our caselaw has not grappled with the impact of
   
    Gonzalez v. Thaler
   
   ,
   
    565 U.S. 134
   
   ,
   
    132 S.Ct. 641
   
   ,
   
    181 L.Ed.2d 619
   
   (2012), on our characterization of the district-court-first rule as jurisdictional. In my view, the Supreme Court's opinion in
   
    Gonzalez
   
   seriously calls that holding into question. Nonetheless, we are bound by the rulings of previous post-
   
    Gonzalez
   
   panels to continue to apply our existing caselaw.
