U.S. DISTRICT COURT
N.D. OF ALABAMA

Case No. 5:23-cv-01251-RDP-SGC

MEMORANDUM OPINION
The Magistrate Judge entered a Report and Recommendation on November 1, 2023,
recommending this petition for writ of habeas corpus, filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, be
dismissed without jurisdiction as successive. (Doc. 3). Petitioner has filed objections. (Doc. 4).
Other than expressing disappointment with the justice system, the objections generally assert the
supposed merits of Petitioner’s habeas claims.

However, the objections do not make any

challenges to the fact that this filing is an unauthorized second or successive § 2254 petition.
Accordingly, Petitioner has not presented any argument or evidence to contradict the conclusion
that this court lacks jurisdiction over his claims.
After careful consideration of the record in this case and the Magistrate Judge’s Report and
Recommendation, the court ADOPTS the Report and ACCEPTS the recommendation. (Doc. 3).
Petitioner’s objections are OVERRULED. (Doc. 4). Consistent with the recommendation, this
matter will be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. As noted in the Report and Recommendation, a
ruling on a certificate of appealability is not required under these circumstances.
A separate order will be entered.
DONE and ORDERED this November 14, 2023.
