Creadell Hubbard, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Creadell Hubbard appeals from the district court’s order denying his

28 U.S.C. § 2241

(2012) petition. The district court ruled that Hubbard’s challenge to his career

offender status was not cognizable under § 2241 pursuant to In re Jones,

226 F.3d 328

(4th Cir. 2000). However, when it issued its decision, the district court did not have the

benefit of our decisions in United States v. Wheeler,

886 F.3d 415, 426

(4th Cir. 2018),

and Lester v. Flournoy,

909 F.3d 708

(4th Cir. 2018). Accordingly, we grant leave to

proceed in forma pauperis, vacate the district court’s order, and remand for further

consideration of Hubbard’s petition, including any relevant jurisdictional issues. 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
