Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM: Ashley Terrell Brooks, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court’s order dismissing with prejudice Brooks’ 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2012) petition in which Brooks sought to challenge his armed career criminal designation. The district court determined that Brooks was unable to challenge his sentence under the savings clause of 28 U.S.C. § 2255(e) (2012). The district court did not have the benefit of our recent decision in United States v. Wheeler, 886 F.3d 415 (4th Cir. 2018). In light of Wheeler, we vacate the district court’s order and remand the case for further proceedings. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

VACATED AND REMANDED
