Holding

Once a district court enters its judgment with respect to a first-filed habeas petition, see 28 U. S. C. §2254, a second-in-time filing qualifies as a “second or successive application” under the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 properly subject to the requirements of §2244(b).
