ORDER DENYING MOTIONS AS UNAUTHORIZED SUCCESSIVE $2255 PETITION AND CLOSING CASE

THIS MATTER is before the Court sua sponte. On July 13, 2016, this Court entered its Order Transferring Case to Court of Appeals [DE-25]. In that Order, this Court noted that Petitioner's motion for reconsideration [DE-9], motion to amend with supplemental authority pursuant to Johnson v. United States [DE-12], and motion for leave to file a reply [DE-18] constituted a successive claim for relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2255. Accordingly, this Court transferred the case to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals to determine whether Petitioner's claims merit the necessary authorization to file a successive petition under § 2255. The Court administratively closed this case pending a decision from the Eleventh Circuit. On August 16, 2016, the Eleventh Circuit denied Petitioner's application to file a successive § 2255 petition. Without this authorization, this Court cannot consider Petitioner's motions. Accordingly, it is

ORDERED that:

1. Petitioner's motion for reconsideration [DE-9], motion to amend with supplemental authority pursuant to Johnson v. United States [DE-12], and motion for leave to file a reply [DE-18] are DENIED.

This case is CLOSED.

DONE AND ORDERED.
