Question Presented (AI Summary)

Did the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals err when it affirmed the District Court's construing of Petitioner's Motion as an unauthorized second or successive 28 U.S.C. §2255, and then denied the petition for failing to obtain prefiling authorization, when petitioner is a federal prisoner and 28 U.S.C §§2254 and 2255 only require state prisoners filing 28 U.S.C. §2254 Motions to obtain prefiling Authorizations for a second or successive motion?
