Bowe v. United States · ¶151

In reversing the Eleventh Circuit, my colleagues do not question that § 2244(b)(1) prohibits state prisoners' do-over claims. Nor do my colleagues question that Mr. Bowe seeks to pursue a do-over claim in this case. Instead, they hold that federal prisoners like him are free to file in district court as many do-over claims as they please. Once more, I disagree because I see nothing in AEDPA's text that supports that kind of special treatment for federal prisoners.
