PER CURIAM:

David Cain, Jr., appeals the district court’s orders dismissing his

28 U.S.C. § 2241

petition and denying reconsideration. In light of the Supreme Court’s decision in Jones v.

Hendrix,

599 U.S. 465, 477-80

(2023) (holding that petitioner cannot use § 2241 petition

to mount successive collateral attack on validity of federal conviction or sentence), we

conclude that Cain cannot pursue his claims in a § 2241 petition. Accordingly, we affirm

the district court’s orders. Cain v. Streeval, No. 7:21-cv-00338-TTC-RSB (W.D. Va. July

28, 2022; Oct. 17, 2022). We deny Cain’s motion to appoint counsel. 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.
