USCA4 Appeal: 23-7129 Doc: 7 Filed: 04/19/2024 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM: Julius Andrew Reason, III, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court’s order accepting the magistrate judge’s recommendation and dismissing without prejudice Reason’s 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition in which he sought to challenge his convictions by way of the savings clause in 28 U.S.C. § 2255(e). 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 challenges to federal convictions or sentence), we conclude that Reason cannot pursue his challenges in a § 2241 petition. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Reason v. Janson, No. 4:23-cv-01894-BHH (D.S.C. Oct.

20, 2023). 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
