Rehearing and Rehearing En Banc Denied November 28, 2005. *
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas.
Bruce David Eddy, Federal Public Defender's Office, Craig Lambert, Little Rock, AR, for Petitioner/Appellee.
Eric Randall Nance, Grady, AR, pro se.
Kelly Kristine Hill, Attorney General's Office, Little Rock, AR, for Respondent/Appellant.
Before ARNOLD, BEAM, and MELLOY, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.
Before the court is respondent's motion to vacate a stay of execution entered by the district court. We grant the motion and vacate the stay.
On November 14, 2005, petitioner filed a pleading captioned "Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus" accompanied by a motion for stay of execution. The district court construed the petition as a requested amendment to the previously filed1 petition in district court, case number: 5:00-CV-00339 ("CV-00339"). The district court, after making findings of fact and conclusions of law, granted a motion to amend the habeas corpus petition, and granted the stay of execution.
On January 24, 2005, petitioner filed a petition to remand in CV:00339 seeking the same relief sought in the present filings. Construing the motion to remand as a motion to file a successive 28 U.S.C. § 2244 habeas petition, we denied the motion. We view the present filings as yet another attempt to avoid the requirements of 28 U.S.C. § 2244(b) (3) (A).
Accordingly, we deny a motion for interlocutory appeal, vacate the district court's stay of execution and dismiss the petition for habeas corpus.
