United States Seventh Circuit

Application seeking authorization to file a successive collateral attack is construed instead as a notice of appeal and forwarded to the clerk for filing where applicant's prior challenge to his sentence was incorrectly labeled a collateral attack under 28 U.S.C. 2255, and applicant was therefore not required to file an application seeking authorization.
