ORDER DISMISSING PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION Petitioner, SHAWN HATTON, Warden, et al., Respondents. 16 17 On August 5, 2016, Petitioner David L. Dew (“Petitioner”), a state prisoner, filed a 18 petition for writ of habeas corpus (“petition”) pursuant to Title 28 of the United States 19 Code, Section 2254. See Doc. No. 1. On July 24, 2017, the Court issued an order 20 adopting the Recommendation of the magistrate judge that the petition be dismissed, and 21 dismissed the petition with prejudice. See Doc. No. 13. The Clerk of Court entered 22 judgment the same day. See Doc. No. 14. Petitioner appealed. See Doc. No. 15. 23 On November 30, 2018, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit 24 issued an order vacating the judgment, and remanding with instructions to dismiss the 25 petition for lack of jurisdiction. See Doc. No. 19. The Ninth Circuit noted that Petitioner 26 previously filed a § 2254 petition challenging the same California conviction for second- 27 degree felony murder. See S.D. Cal. Case No. 3:98-cv-1533-J-POR. That petition was 28 denied with prejudice on September 30, 1990, and the Ninth Circuit affirmed in Dew v. -1- 16cv1985-MMA (MDD) 1 Clarke, 424 F.3d 381 (9th Cir. 2000). Moreover, the Ninth Circuit indicated that 2 Petitioner has neither sought nor been granted authorization to file a second or successive 3 § 2254 petition. See Doc. No. 19 at 2. Thus, the Court lacked jurisdiction to entertain the 4 second petition. 5 Accordingly, in light of the Ninth Circuit’s order, the Court DISMISSES the 6 second or successive petition for writ of habeas corpus for lack of jurisdiction pursuant to 7 28 U.S.C. § 2244(b) without prejudice. See Burton v. Stewart, 549 U.S. 147, 157 (2007). 8 9 IT IS SO ORDERED. 10 11 12 13 14 Dated: December 4, 2018 _____________________________ HON. MICHAEL M.
