The following excerpt is from Balbuena v. Sullivan, 970 F.3d 1176 (9th Cir. 2020):
AEDPA generally bars second or successive habeas petitions. Section 2244(b)(1) states that "[a] claim presented in a second or successive habeas corpus application under section 2254 that was presented in a prior application shall be dismissed." 28 U.S.C. 2244(b)(1). No exceptions exist to this statutory bar. See Goodrum v. Busby , 824 F.3d 1188, 1193 (9th Cir. 2016) (explaining that claims asserted in an earlier petition "must be dismissed, period").
