-------------------- 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. § 2241 petition, 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.

The district court correctly determined that Hernandez did not qualify for 28 U.S.C. § 2241 relief 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.
