MOTION FOR AN ORDER AUTHORIZING THE DISTRICT COURT TO CONSIDER A SUCCESSIVE OR SECOND MOTION TO VACATE, SET ASIDE OR CORRECT SENTENCE PURSUANT to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2244 (b), 2255(h) BY A PRISONER IN FEDERAL CUSTODY is a legal motion filed by a prisoner in federal custody to request the district court to consider a successive or second motion to vacate, set aside, or correct their sentence. The motion is authorized under 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2244 (b), 2255(h). This type of motion is typically filed by a prisoner if they believe their sentence is unlawful, incorrect, or unjust, and they are seeking to have it overturned or changed. There are two types of motions that can be filed under this provision: a successive motion and a second motion. A successive motion is a motion that is filed after the prisoner’s first motion has been denied. A second motion is a motion that is filed after the prisoner’s first motion has been granted, but the prisoner believes that their sentence is still unlawful, incorrect, or unjust. The district court will then decide if they will consider the motion and if the motion is granted, the prisoner’s sentence may be changed.
