-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi USDC No. 5:99-CV-87-BrS -------------------- August 22, 2000 Before KING, Chief Judge, and POLITZ and WIENER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:* Jerrell Lamar Meadows, federal prisoner #86453-071, appeals from the dismissal of his application for 28 U.S.C. § 2241 habeas corpus relief, which the district court construed as a motion for relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 and dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. A § 2255 motion is not inadequate or ineffective, allowing a prisoner to pursue relief under § 2241, because the § 2255 motion would fail to satisfy the requirements for obtaining authorization to file a successive motion. Tolliver v. Dobre, 211 F.3d 876, 877-78 (5th Cir. 2000). The only court with * Pursuant to 5TH CIR.
