Whether a district court is jurisdictionally barred from considering evidence supporting a claim in a second or successive habeas petition that the court of appeals has not specifically identified in its authorization order
QUESTION PRESENTED When a court of appeals authorizes adjudication of a claim in a second or successive habeas petition pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 2244(b)(3)(A), is the district court adjudicating the claim jurisdictionally barred from considering any evidence supporting the claim that the court of appeals has not specifically identified in its authorization order, as the court of appeals held in this case, or does the district court have the power to consider all evidence that bears directly on the authorized claim, as the Seventh Circuit has held?
