IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 00-40834 Conference Calendar

JACK DAVID COX, Petitioner-Appellant, versus JONATHAN DOBRE, Warden, Respondent-Appellee.

-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas USDC No. 1:00-CV-382 -------------------- June 14, 2001 Before WIENER, DeMOSS, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:* Jack David Cox (federal prisoner #07269-062) appeals the district court’s dismissal of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition as being an impermissible attempt to circumvent the successive requirements of 28 U.S.C. § 2255. Cox, however, does not challenge the district court’s basis for dismissal and, consequently, has waived any challenge to the district court’s dispositive ruling. See Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 224-25 (5th Cir. 1993). Accordingly, the district court’s judgment is AFFIRMED.

* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.
