Julius Warner Maracalin, federal prisoner # 02617-095, appeals from the district court’s denial of his motion for relief pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 60(b) from the denial of his petition for 28 U.S.C. § 2241 relief, a denial of relief that we affirmed. Maracalin v. Morrison, 185 Fed.Appx. 430, 431 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, — U.S.-, 127 S.Ct. 312, 166 L.Ed.2d 235 (2006).

The denial of Maracalin’s Rule 60(b) motion was not an abuse of discretion. See Seven Elves, Inc. v. Eskenazi, 635 F.2d 396, 402 (5th Cir. 1981). We held that Maracalin could not pursue relief pursuant to § 2241 on the contentions on which he sought a ruling in the Rule 60(b) motion. *419 Maracalin, 185 Fed.Appx. at 431. Because Maracalin cannot obtain relief in a § 2241 proceeding, the merits of his underlying contentions need not be addressed.

Maracalin’s appeal is dismissed as frivolous. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2. Maracalin is warned that any future attempts to evade the requirements for filing a successive 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion, however styled, may result in the imposition of sanctions against him.

APPEAL DISMISSED; SANCTION WARNING ISSUED.
