OPINION OF THE COURT
POLLAK, District Judge.
In this appeal, we consider the applicability to petitions for habeas corpus filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 of both (1) the “gatekeeping mechanism” by which 28 U.S.C. § 2244(b) limits the filing of second or successive petitions for habeas corpus, and (2) the “abuse of the writ” doctrine as expressed in the Supreme Court’s decision in McCleskey v. Zant, 499 U.S. 467, 111 S.Ct. 1454, 113 L.Ed.2d 517 (1991). We will affirm the District Court’s decision dismissing the petition of appellant Raniel Perez Zayas for abuse of the writ.
