BY THE COURT:
Florida death row inmate William T. Turner has applied, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2244(b)(3)(A), for an order authorizing the district court to consider a second or successive petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Specifically, Turner seeks leave to assert in a second federal habeas petition a claim that he is ineligible for the death penalty because he is mentally retarded. After review, we deny Turner's application.
