UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Respondent-Appellee
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Mississippi
USDC No. 5:09-CV-40
Before GARZA, CLEMENT, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Herman Douglas Carter, Jr., federal prisoner # 83346-020, appeals the
district court’s dismissal of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition, in which he challenged
his conviction for aggravated sexual assault and kidnaping and resulting 327-

to proceed under § 2241 based on the savings clause of § 2255(e). See Reyes-
Requena v. United States, 243 F.3d 893, 900-01, 904 (5th Cir. 2001). Carter has
waived the issue by failing to brief it. See Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 224-25
(5th Cir. 1993); Brinkmann v. Dallas County Deputy Sheriff Abner, 813 F.2d 744,
748 (5th Cir. 1987). The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED. Carter’s
“motion requesting a bond hearing be set,” “motion for emergency hearing for
writ of habeas corpus,” and motion to remand incorporated therein are DENIED.
See Calley v. Callaway, 496 F.2d 701, 702 (5th Cir. 1974).
