George G. Rider, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:
George G. Rider, a federal prisoner, filed a petition
under
28 U.S.C. § 2241(2000), challenging the supervised release
portion of his sentence under United States v. Booker,
543 U.S. 220(2005). The district court denied the petition for lack of
jurisdiction under § 2241. Rider argues on appeal that
28 U.S.C. § 2255(2000) is inadequate and ineffective to test the legality of
his detention, contending that his Booker claim should be
considered in the context of his § 2241 petition. Because Rider
does not meet the standard under In re Jones,
226 F.3d 328, 333-34
(4th Cir. 2000), we affirm the denial of relief. 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.
