ITEM 2.1.08 | MOTIONS FOR AUTHORIZATION TO FILE SUCCESSIVE POST-CONVICTION APPLICATIONS
A second petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 or 2255 will not be considered by the district court unless the petitioner has obtained authorization from the court of appeals to file a successive application. A motion for authorization to file a successive application may be filed in the court of appeals at any time; however, a one-year limitations period applies to the filing of all §§ 2254 and 2255 motions in the district court. The court of appeals must decide motions for authorization within 30 days of filing. If the court of appeals requires a response to the motion for authorization to file a successive application, it will request a response within no more than 7 days of the date requested. Local Rule 22(d).
