CRIMINAL ACTION NO. 06-0114-CG.

ORDER
Defendant Sanchez has filed a Motion to Vacate under 28 U.S.C. § 2255." (Doc. 149). On July 12, 2010, this court entered an order denying a previous § 2255 motion filed by Sanchez. (Docs. 147 148). This new motion is therefore a second or successive petition pursuant to § 2255. That statute provides the steps necessary to file a second or successive motion: when a prisoner previously has filed a § 2255 motion to vacate, she must apply for and receive permission from the Circuit Court of Appeals prior to filing a successive § 2255 motion. 28 U.S.C. §§ 2255(h), 2244(b)(3)(A). Petitioner has not been authorized by a panel of the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals to file the instant petition.
It is therefore ORDERED that defendant's current Motion to Vacate under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (Doc. 149) is DISMISSED. DONE and ORDERED.
