Emmanuel Nnaji, federal prisoner # 39011-177, appeals the dismissal of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition for failure to satisfy the savings clause of 28 U.S.C. § 2255(e). Nnaji challenged his 240-month sentence for forced labor, harboring an illegal alien for financial gain, document servitude, making false statements to federal agents, and conspiracy. He contended, based on Alleyne v. United States, —U.S.-, 133 S.Ct. 2151, 186 L.Ed.2d 314 (2013), that his statutory minimum sentence was unconstitutionally increased based on facts not admitted or proved beyond a reasonable doubt.

We review a district court’s dismissal of a § 2241 petition de novo. Pack v. Yusuff, 218 F.3d 448, 451 (5th Cir. 2000). Since Nnaji sought to attack the validity of his sentence, he had to meet the requirements of the savings clause of § 2255(e) to raise his claim in a § 2241 petition. See § 2255(e). To meet the requirements of the savings clause of § 2255(e), Nnaji had to show that his claim was “(i) ... based on a retroactively applicable Supreme Court decision which establishes that [he] ... may have been convicted of a nonexistent offense and (ii) that was foreclosed by circuit law at the time when the claim should have been raised in [his] ... trial, appeal, or first § 2255 motion.” Reyes-Requena v. United States, 243 F.3d 893, 904 (5th Cir. 2001).

In Alleyne, the Supreme Court held that any fact that increases a defendant’s mandatory minimum sentence must be submitted to a jury to be proved beyond a reasonable doubt. 133 S.Ct. at 2163. Since the decision in Alleyne implicates the validity of a sentence, Alleyne does not establish that Nnaji was convicted of a nonexistent offense. See Wesson v. U.S. Penitentiary Beaumont, TX, 305 F.3d 343, 348 (5th Cir. 2002). Therefore, the district court did not err by dismissing Nnaji’s § 2241 petition for failure to satisfy the savings clause of § 2255(e).

The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
