Bowe v. United States · ¶50

The dissent also relies on Hohn to argue that it already stands for the proposition that § 2244(B)(3)(E) imposes “a `clear limit' on our jurisdiction” in this case. Post, at 53, 57– 58; see also post, at 61. Not so. No one disputes that the certiorari bar clearly deprives the Court of jurisdiction over classes of cases to which it applies. See Hohn, 524 U. S., at 250. What is not clear is whether, through the cross- reference in § 2255(h), Congress intended for that bar to extend to federal prisoners—a point Hohn simply did not address.
