1 In his Objections, Petitioner appears to contend that the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals has
authorized him to file a second or successive habeas petition and that this Court should, therefore, permit

him to proceed. (Doc. 6, pp. 2-3.) As discussed in the Report and Recommendation, however, the
Eleventh Circuit denied Petitioner's Application for Leave to File a Second or Successive Habeas Petition
on February 3, 2017. (Doc. 4, p. 5.)
