OPINION

The Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) appeals the district court’s order granting habeas corpus relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (1994) to Petitioner Helena Futeryan-Cohen in the form of a stay of deportation. A citizen of Israel, Futeryan-Cohen is subject to a 1995 deportation order.

The INS contends that the district court lacked subject matter jurisdiction over the § 2241 petition pursuant to 8 U.S.C.A. § 1252(g) (West 1999). Upon our review, we find that this contention is correct and that the district court did not have jurisdiction over Futeryan-Cohen’s habeas petition. Id.; Mapoy v. Carroll, 185 F.3d 224, 228-31 (4th Cir. 1999), cert. denied, 529 U.S. 1018, 120 S.Ct. 1417, 146 L.Ed.2d 310 (2000); see Reno v. American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Comm., 525 U.S. 471, 119 S.Ct. 936, 142 L.Ed.2d 940 (1999).

We accordingly vacate the district court’s order and remand for further proceedings. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

VACATED AND REMANDED.
