UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
DARON DEMETRIS KENNEY, also known as Tall Dog,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Mississippi
USDC No. 4:03-CV-226
USDC No. 4:93-CR-134-1
--------------------
Before WIENER, BENAVIDES, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Daron Demetris Kenney, federal prisoner # 02255-112, has
filed an appeal from the district court’s order dismissing his
28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion as an unauthorized successive 28 U.S.C.
§ 2255 motion. Because Kenney had previously filed a 28 U.S.C.
§ 2255 motion challenging his conviction, see United States v.
Kenney, No. 4:93-CR-134-S (N.D. Miss. Aug. 1, 2001)
(unpublished), and because Kenney had not obtained this court’s
authorization to file a second or successive 28 U.S.C. § 2255
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that
this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except
under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.
No. 03-61041

motion, the district court lacked jurisdiction to consider
Kenney’s motion. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 2244(b)(3)(A) and 2255; United
States v. Key, 205 F.3d 773, 774 (5th Cir. 2000). Accordingly,
Kenney’s appeal is DISMISSED. We do not reach the question
certified by the district court.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
