William Russell Abbott, federal prisoner # 57819-083, was convicted in 2008 in the Eastern District of Virginia of attempting to entice a minor to engage in illegal sexual acts for which a person could be charged with a criminal offense and of transporting child pornography. Abbott filed the instant motion challenging the legality of his criminal conviction and sentence. The pleading was construed by the district court as a petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. It was dismissed because Abbott had not shown that he may proceed under the Savings Clause of 28 U.S.C. § 2255.

Abbott contends that he was convicted of a nonexistent offense and is innocent because the offense did not involve a minor victim. He complains also that an interstate nexus was not established. Because these claims are not based on a retroactively applicable Supreme Court decision, Abbott has not satisfied the standard for filing a § 2241 petition under the Savings Clause of § 2255. See Reyes-Requena v. United States, 243 F.3d 893, 904 (5th Cir. 2001). The judgment is AFFIRMED. Abbott’s motion for extraordinary relief and for sanctions is DENIED.
