United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.

Filed: August 15, 2019.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

John Forrest, Pro Se.

Joseph Leo Howard , DORNAN & TROIA, Omaha, NE, for Petitioner — Appellant.

Matt R. Molsen , Special Assistant U.S. Attorney, Steven A. Russell , Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, Lincoln, NE, for Respondent-Appellee.

Before LOKEN, COLLOTON, and KELLY, Circuit Judges.


John Forrest appeals an order of the district court1 denying his successive motion to correct his sentence under 28 U.S.C. § 2255. We conclude that Forrest does not meet the requirements of § 2255(h)(2) for filing a successive motion, and we therefore affirm the denial of relief.
