PER CURIAM:

Terrance Jerome Riley appeals the district court’s orders adopting the magistrate

judge’s recommendation, dismissing Riley’s

28 U.S.C. § 2241

petition 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
