United States Court of Appeals FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT ___________ No. 00-1095 ___________ Jose Maria Gonzales, * * Appellant, * * Appeal from the United States v. * District Court for the Eastern * District of Arkansas.

George E. Snyder, Warden, Federal * Correctional Institution, Forrest City, * [UNPUBLISHED] Arkansas, * * Appellee. * ___________ Submitted: May 5, 2000 Filed: May 18, 2000 ___________ Before LOKEN, FAGG, and HANSEN, Circuit Judges. ___________ PER CURIAM.

Jose Maria Gonzales, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court's denial of Gonzales's 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition, in which Gonzales asserted he received ineffective assistance of counsel. After reviewing the record and the parties' briefs, we agree with the district court that Gonzales may not proceed under § 2241 because 28 U.S.C. § 2255 is neither an inadequate nor ineffective remedy. We affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
