Joe Robert Patron, Texas prisoner # 1176158, seeks a certificate of appeala-bility (COA) from the dismissal of his petition for writ of audita querela, in which he challenged his conviction and sentence for aggravated sexual assault of a child. A COA is not required for Patron to appeal. See 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c).

We may affirm the district court’s judgment on any basis supported by the record. See Scott v. Johnson, 227 F.3d 260, 262 (5th Cir. 2000) (denial of § 2255 motion). The district court correctly dismissed Patron’s petition for writ of audita querela because redress was available to Patron under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. See United States v. Banda, 1 F.3d 354, 356 (5th Cir. 1993); Tolliver v. Dobre, 211 F.3d 876, 878 (5th Cir. 2000); see also Felker v. Turpin, 518 U.S. 651, 662, 116 S.Ct. 2333, 135 L.Ed.2d 827 (1996). It is irrelevant that Patron can no longer meet the standard for bringing a timely § 2254 petition. Cf. Tolliver, 211 F.3d at 878 (holding that fact that federal prisoner filed unsuccessful 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion or that federal prisoner cannot meet requirements for filing successive § 2255 motion does not render § 2255 remedy unavailable).

Accordingly, Patron’s motion for a COA is DENIED as unnecessary and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
