PER CURIAM:
Terrance Jerome Riley appeals the district court’s orders adopting the magistrate
judge’s recommendation, dismissing Riley’s
28 U.S.C. § 2241petition for lack of
jurisdiction, and denying reconsideration. In light of the Supreme Court’s recent 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 sentence), we conclude
that Riley cannot pursue his challenge in a § 2241 petition.
Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s orders. 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.
AFFIRMED
