CASE NO. 17cv1847-LAB (BLM)
ORDER OF DISMISSAL
vs.
DEAN BORDERS, et al.,
Respondents.

“An individual seeking to file a ‘second or successive’ application must move in the
16
appropriate court of appeals for an order directing the district court to consider his
17
application. § 2244(b)(3)(A).” Stewart v. Martinez-Villareal, 523 U.S. 637, 641 (1998). Judge
18
Curiel previously denied William Kennerson’s habeas petition. Kennerson admits he hasn’t
19
obtained Ninth Circuit permission to file a second habeas petition but argues he didn’t need
20
to under Stewart v. Martinez-Villareal. But Stewart held that a prisoner didn’t need to obtain
21
permission to file a second petition where the first was dismissed for failure to exhaust state
22
remedies. Id. at 644. Here, Judge Curiel dismissed the first petition on the merits. Therefore,
23
Kennerson’s second petition is DISMISSED without prejudice. The clerk will attach a Ninth
24
Circuit Application for Leave to File a Second Petition. Kennerson’s motions to proceed IFP
25
and for a TRO are DENIED as moot.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
