Bowe v. United States · ¶5

This case presents two questions regarding which aspects of § 2244 fall within the scope of § 2255(h)'s cross-reference. The first is whether § 2244(b)(3)(E), which prohibits the “denial of an authorization by a court of appeals to file a second or successive application” from being the “subject of a petition for . . . a writ of certiorari,” bars this Court's review of authorization decisions concerning the motions of federal prisoners. If it does, this Court would lack jurisdiction to hear this case. The Court holds that it does not. In the narrow cross-reference to the procedures in § 2244, Congress has not clearly indicated that it intended to incorporate § 2244(b)(3)(E)'s certiorari bar.
