ORDER DISMISSING PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION

On August 5, 2016, Petitioner David L. Dew ("Petitioner"), a state prisoner, filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus ("petition") pursuant to Title 28 of the United States Code, Section 2254. See Doc. No. 1. On July 24, 2017, the Court issued an order adopting the Recommendation of the magistrate judge that the petition be dismissed, and dismissed the petition with prejudice. See Doc. No. 13. The Clerk of Court entered judgment the same day. See Doc. No. 14. Petitioner appealed. See Doc. No. 15.

On November 30, 2018, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit issued an order vacating the judgment, and remanding with instructions to dismiss the petition for lack of jurisdiction. See Doc. No. 19. The Ninth Circuit noted that Petitioner previously filed a § 2254 petition challenging the same California conviction for second-degree felony murder. See S.D. Cal. Case No. 3:98-cv-1533-J-POR. The petition was denied with prejudice on September 30, 1990, and the Ninth Circuit affirmed in Dew v. Clarke, 424 F.3d 381 (9th Cir. 2000). Moreover, the Ninth Circuit indicated that Petitioner has neither sought nor been granted authorization to file a second or successive § 2254 petition. See Doc. No. 19 at 2. Thus, the Court lacked jurisdiction to entertain the second petition.

Accordingly, in light of the Ninth Circuit's order, the Court DISMISSES the second or successive petition for writ of habeas corpus for lack of jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2244(b) without prejudice. See Burton v. Stewart, 549 U.S. 147, 157 (2007).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
