No. 00-41374 Conference Calendar
LEOPOLDO HERNANDEZ-MIRANDA,
Petitioner-Appellant,
versus
ERNEST V. CHANDLER, Warden,
Respondent-Appellee.
-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas USDC No. 1:00-CV-669 -------------------- December 12, 2002
Before JOLLY, JONES, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Leopoldo Hernandez-Miranda (“Hernandez”), federal prisoner
# 81659-071, appeals the district court’s dismissal of his
28 U.S.C. § 2241petition, in which he raised 14 grounds for relief,
including that his conviction and sentence for possession of
marijuana with the intent to distribute were illegal following
Apprendi v. New Jersey,
530 U.S. 466(2000). Hernandez renews
only his Apprendi claim on appeal; because he does not renew the
* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. No. 00-41374 -2-
other 13 claims he raised in his § 2241 petition, those claims
are waived. See Yohey v. Collins,
985 F.2d 222, 224-25(5th Cir.
1993).
The district court correctly determined that Hernandez did
not qualify for
28 U.S.C. § 2241relief under the savings clause
of
28 U.S.C. § 2255. Hernandez cannot make the showing required
to qualify for such relief because this court has recently held
that Apprendi is not retroactive on collateral review. See
Wesson v. U.S. Penitentiary Beaumont, TX,
305 F.3d 343, 347-48(5th Cir. 2002) (citing United States v. Brown,
305 F.3d 304, 310(5th Cir. 2002)).
The district court’s judgment is AFFIRMED.
