Charles R. Fulbruge III Clerk No. 04-11532 Conference Calendar
ERNEST RAYMOND DODD,
Petitioner-Appellant,
versus
COLE JETER, Warden, Federal Medical Center Fort Worth,
Respondent-Appellee.
-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas USDC No. 4:04-CV-896 --------------------
Before KING, Chief Judge, and HIGGINBOTHAM and SMITH, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Ernest Raymond Dodd, federal prisoner # 17742-077, appeals
the denial of his
28 U.S.C. § 2241petition. He argues that his
sentence is invalid in light of Blakely v. Washington,
124 S. Ct. 2531(2004), and United States v. Booker,
125 S. Ct. 738(2005).
Dodd’s argument is directed toward a sentencing error; such an
argument may not be brought under
28 U.S.C. § 2241. See Padilla
v. United States,
416 F.3d 424, 425-26(5th Cir. 2005). Dodd’s
argument that he is entitled to proceed under
28 U.S.C. § 2241* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. 04-11532 -2-
based on the savings clause of
28 U.S.C. § 2255because relief
under that section is “inadequate or ineffective” is unavailing.
Id. at 427(holding that a claim under Booker does not fit within
the savings clause of
28 U.S.C. § 2255). The judgment of the
district court is AFFIRMED.
