In re: Cecil Bradford, No. 10-11236 (5th Cir. 2011)
Annotate this CasePetitioner pleaded guilty to one count of possession of cocaine with intent to distribute and one count of felony possession of a firearm. Petitioner, proceeding pro se, subsequently filed two petitions for habeas relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 2241, which the district court consolidated, construed as a second or successive section 2255 motion and transferred to this court. Petitioner appealed the district court's order. Petitioner also filed a motion for a Certificate of Appealability or, in the alternative, a motion for authorization to file a successive section 2255 motion. After first determining sua sponte that the court had jurisdiction over the appeal, the court affirmed the district court's transfer order and denied the motion for authorization to file a successive section 2255 motion.
