Jose Ricardo Ruiz, federal prisoner # 12399-080, appeals the district court’s dismissal of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition challenging his guilty-plea conviction for escape from the custody of a federal prison camp. See 18 U.S.C. § 751(a); United States v. Ruiz, 180 F.3d 675, 676 (5th Cir. 1999). He argues that he is entitled to pursue habeas relief under the “savings clause” of 28 U.S.C. § 2255. Ruiz has not made the requisite showing to qualify for the “savings clause” of § 2255. His challenge to the sentencing court’s application of the Guidelines is not based on a retroactively applicable Supreme Court decision which establishes that the offense no longer qualifies as a violation of law. See Reyes-Requena v. United States, 243 F.3d 893, 904 (5th Cir. 2001). Accordingly, the district court’s dismissal of his § 2241 petition is affirmed.

Ruiz’s motion for appointment of counsel is denied.

AFFIRMED; MOTION DENIED.
