BOBBY JOE BURTON, JR.,
Petitioner-Appellant,
versus
DAN JOSLIN, Respondent-Appellee.
-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas USDC No. 3:05-CV-1445 --------------------
Before BARKSDALE, GARZA, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Bobby Joe Burton, Jr., federal prisoner # 75272-079, appeals
the dismissal of his
28 U.S.C. § 2241petition. Burton
challenged the life sentence he received after he pleaded guilty
to conspiracy to manufacture crack cocaine and possession of
crack cocaine with intent to distribute. Burton argues that his
challenge to his sentence falls under the savings clause of
28 U.S.C. § 2255.

not meet the requirements of § 2255's savings clause. See
Padilla v. United States,
416 F.3d 424, 427(5th Cir. 2005).
Accordingly, the district court did not err in dismissing
Burton’s § 2241 petition.
AFFIRMED.
