Opinion
C/A No. 4:11-2257-JFA-TER
02-27-2012
James Stephen Strickland, Petitioner, v. Kirkland Correctional Institution, Respondent.
ORDER
On November 9, 2011, the undersigned dismissed petitioner's second § 2254 petition because he had not received permission from the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals to file a successive § 2254 petition.
Plaintiff now returns to this court with a motion to appoint an attorney and for a new trial. As the original petition has been dismissed because this court has no jurisdiction to entertain a successive § 2254 petition, the petitioner's motion for counsel and a new trial (ECF No. 28) must be denied.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
