Juan Vicente Caderno, federal prisoner # 35223-004, appeals the denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition challenging his cocaine-related convictions. The district court held that while styled as a § 2241 petition, his pleading was subject to dismissal without prejudice as an unauthorized successive 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion. Caderno has inadequately briefed the issue whether the district court erred by construing his pleading as such and instead merely recites the law pertaining to the filing of § 2241 petitions without applying it to the facts of his case. He does not address the issues whether the § 2255 remedy is inadequate or ineffective or, alternatively, whether he meets the criteria for filing a successive § 2255 motion. He has therefore waived review of these issues. See Brinkmann v. Dallas County Deputy Sheriff Abner, 813 F.2d 744, 748 (5th Cir. 1987).

AFFIRMED.
