Chima Iheke v. Anthony Haynes

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit December 4, 2014

Chima Iheke v. Anthony Haynes, 585 F. App'x 919 (8th Cir. 2014)

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Federal inmate Chima Iheke appeals the district court’s 1 dismissal of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition for lack of jurisdiction. Following careful review of the record and the parties’ briefs, we conclude that the court did not err in dismissing the petition because 28 U.S.C. § 2255 relief is neither inadequate nor ineffective to test the legality of Iheke’s detention. See 28 U.S.C. § 2255(e); Hill v. Morrison, 349 F.3d 1089, 1091 (8th Cir. 2003) (de novo review). The judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

. The Honorable Beth Deere, United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas, to whom the case was referred for final disposition by consent of the parties pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c).
