U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit

United States v. Tarrish Tellis

August 31, 2026

Summary

The Eleventh Circuit granted summary affirmance and affirmed the dismissal of Tellis’s motion because, regardless of its label, the motion sought relief available only under 28 U.S.C. § 2255. Since Tellis had previously litigated a § 2255 motion and obtained no authorization to file another, the district court lacked jurisdiction over the successive motion.
