PEDRO LUIS SANCHEZ,
Petitioner-Appellant,
versus
KHURSHID Z. YUSUFF,
Respondent-Appellee.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Mississippi
USDC No. 5:01-CV-297-BrS
--------------------
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, EMILIO M. GARZA, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Pedro Luis Sanchez, federal prisoner # 03833-030, appeals
the district court’s dismissal of his petition challenging the
validity of his conviction and sentence under 28 U.S.C. § 2241.
Because Sanchez’s 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition challenged the
validity of his conviction and sentence, Sanchez had to show that
28 U.S.C. § 2255 provided him with an inadequate or ineffective
remedy. Tolliver v. Dobre, 211 F.3d 876, 878 (5th Cir. 2000).
However, Sanchez has failed to make a sufficient showing. Cf.
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
No. 02-60721
-2-
Wesson v. U.S. Penitentiary, Beaumont, TX, 305 F.3d 343, 347-48
(5th Cir. 2002). The district court’s dismissal of Sanchez’s 28
U.S.C. § 2241 petition is therefore AFFIRMED. Sanchez’s other
motions are DENIED.
