Date Filed Document Text
April 14, 2020 Filing 2 Filed order (A. WALLACE TASHIMA, JAY S. BYBEE and PAUL J. WATFORD): In this application to file a second or successive 28 U.S.C. 2254 habeas corpus petition in the district court, the applicant contends that he was denied the right to a jury determination of the prior-conviction allegations. The applicant raised this claim in a previous habeas petition filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, case number 3:05-cv-02843-VRW, which was denied on the merits on October 25, 2007. The applicant concedes that this claim was previously raised in the district court but contends that the claim relies on a new rule of constitutional law. Because the claim was previously adjudicated by the district court, we dismiss it. See 28 U.S.C. 2244(b)(1) (A claim presented in a second or successive habeas corpus application under section 2254 that was presented in a prior application shall be dismissed.). Even if we were to conclude that this claim was not previously presented, we nevertheless would deny the application because the applicant has not made a prima facie showing under 28 U.S.C. 2244(b)(2)(A) that the claim relies on a new rule of constitutional law, made retroactive to cases on collateral review by the Supreme Court, that was previously unavailable. See Arazola-Galea v. United States, 876 F.3d 1257, 1259-60 (9th Cir. 2017) (holding that Mathis v. United States, 136 S. Ct. 2243 (2016), did not announce a new rule of constitutional law); Ezell v. United States, 778 F.3d 762, 766-67 (9th Cir. 2015) (holding that Descamps v. United States, 570 U.S. 254 (2013), did not announce a new rule of constitutional law). Any pending motions are denied as moot. No further filings will be entertained in this case. DENIED. [11660190] (RT) [Entered: 04/14/2020 09:52 AM]
