JOHN G. KOELTL, District Judge: The Court has received the attached correspondence from the petitioner, Juan Carlos Herrera-Gomez, in which the petitioner seeks a Certificate of Appealability to file a second or successive habeas petition pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255. In his correspondence, the petitioner has attached a financial statement that contains personal financial information and is therefore filed under seal. To the extent that the petitioner s motion requests a Certificate of Appealability to appeal the denial of his initial habeas petition, filed August 18, 2008 and denied in the Court s Memorandum Opinion and Order dated November 25, 2009, the petitioner s request is denied. The Court declined to issue a Certificate of Appealability in its opinion of November 25, 2009 because the petitioner had failed to make a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right, and the petitioner has not proffered any additional basis in support of the required substantial showing. To the extent that the petitioner requests a Certificate of Appealability in order to file a second and successive habeas petition pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255, his request is denied, because the petitioner s request to file a second and successive habeas petition is properly made to the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. See 28 U.S.C. § 2255(h); see also, e.g., Ortiz v. New York, 75 F. App x 14, 17 (2d Cir. 2003) (summary order). The petitioner should submit his request to file a second and successive motion under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 to the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. In petitioning the Court of Appeals for leave to file a second and successive habeas petition, the petitioner should explain the basis for his application, with specific reference to the factors provided in 28 U.S.C. § 2255(h), a copy of which is attached to this Order.
