var WPFootnote1 = 'Petitioner has also filed a motion in which he appears to\
request that his state criminal case be "transferred" to federal\
court under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Although it is framed differently,\
the motion appears to seek leave of this court to file a § 2254\
petition asserting the same claims described in the initial\
application. Accordingly, it is essentially duplicative and does\
not require separate consideration.\

var WPFootnote2 = 'Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2244(b)(2), a litigant may not file\
a second or successive § 2254 petition unless: \
\
                   (A) the applicant shows that the claim relies\
on a new rule of constitutional law, made\
retroactive to cases on collateral review by\
the Supreme Court, that was previously\
unavailable; or \
\
                   (B)(i) the factual predicate for the claim\
could not have been discovered previously\
through the exercise of due diligence; and\
\
                    (ii) 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 factfinder\
would have found the applicant guilty of the\
underlying offense.\
