JARQUEL JENKINS, Petitioner, v. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Respondent.
OPINION AND ORDER
SHERI POLSTER CHAPPELL UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Before the Court is Petitioner Jarquel Jenkins' Motion for Leave of Court to Reopen the Habeas Proceedings Pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 60(b)(6) (Doc. 6). The operative pleading here is Jenkins' second motion under 28 U.S.C. § 2255. The Court dismissed this action because the Eleventh Circuit did not give Jenkins leave to file a second § 2255 motion as required by statute. See 28 U.S.C. § 2255(h). That requirement is not optional. The Eleventh Circuit must certify Jenkins' second § 2255 motion before this Court may consider it. Accordingly, Jenkins' motion (Doc. 6) is DENIED.
