Roque Tereero-Aranda, Texas prisoner #805045, filed a federal habeas corpus petition pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 2241 and 2254 in which he sought to challenge the Immigration and Naturalization Service’s alleged custody of him pursuant to a final order of deportation and a detainer that was lodged against him. The district court dismissed Aranda’s petition without prejudice because he had failed to comply with a preclusion order that required him to obtain judicial permission before filing any action. Because Aranda’s petition was filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 and did not challenge a process arising out of a state court, he is not required to obtain a COA to proceed on appeal. See Ojo v. I.N.S., 106 F.3d 680, 681 (5th Cir. 1997).

Aranda’s assertion that the district court required him to inform the court about payment on any monetary sanctions imposed in civil litigation is not supported by the record. The district court properly found that Aranda had not complied with the preclusion order issued in Aranda v. Simpson, 4:00cv3253 (S.D.Tex. Oct. 13, 2000), and Aranda has not shown that such a preclusion order, as applied to a habeas proceeding, has blocked his access to the courts. See Lewis v. Casey, 518 U.S. 343, 355-56, 116 S.Ct. 2174, 135 L.Ed.2d 606 (1996).

AFFIRMED.
