Date Filed Document Text
January 15, 2026 Opinion or Order Filing 6 ORDER (BIBAS, PHIPPS and NYGAARD, Circuit Judges) Petitioner filed a federal habeas corpus petition under 28 U.S.C. Section: 2254 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, which transferred it as a second or successive petition to this Court for possible authorization under 28 U.S.C. Section: 2244. However, the basis for Petitioner's claim did not exist when he filed his first habeas corpus petition, so his new petition does not qualify as second or successive under Benchoff v. Colleran, 404 F.3d 812, 817 (3d Cir. 2005). Therefore, Petitioner does not need this Court's authorization to proceed. Accordingly, the Clerk is directed to transfer this matter back to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The motion to stay these proceedings is denied without prejudice to Petitioner's refiling it in the District Court. See Heleva v. Brooks, 581 F.3d 187, 190 (3d Cir. 2009). Panel No.: CLD-055. Bibas, Authoring Judge. (GCH) [Entered: 01/15/2026 04:23 PM]
