2 PER CURIAM:
In these consolidated appeals, Manuel Perez-Colon, a federal prisoner, appeals the
district courts’ orders adopting the recommendations of the magistrate judges and
granting the Government’s motions to dismiss his
28 U.S.C. § 2241(2012) petitions. He
also appeals the order denying reconsideration. Applying our recent decision in United
States v. Wheeler,
886 F.3d 415(4th Cir. 2018), petition for cert. filed, __ U.S.L.W. __
(U.S. Oct. 3, 2018) (No. 18-420), we conclude that Perez-Colon cannot challenge his
sentence under § 2241 because he has failed to satisfy the requirements of the savings
clause of
28 U.S.C. § 2255(e) (2012). Accordingly, we grant leave to proceed in forma
pauperis and affirm the district courts’ judgments as modified to reflect that the petitions
were dismissed without prejudice for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. See Rice v.
Rivera,
617 F.3d 802, 807-08(4th Cir. 2010). We deny Perez-Colon’s motions to
remand. 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.
