Petitioner filed a successive Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (filing 1) on June 18, 2010. At the time of filing, Petitioner had not obtained authorization from the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals to file a successive petition as required by 28 U.S.C. § 2244(b).

The Eighth Circuit has not yet ruled on Petitioner's request to file a successive petition. See Wopashitwe Mondo Eyen We Langa v. Houston, Case No. 10-2361 (8th Cir. 2010).
