STERLING J. MCKOY, II,
Petitioner-Appellant
v.
JOHN B. FOX,
Respondent-Appellee
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Texas
USDC No. 1:11-CV-506
Before WIENER, ELROD, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Sterling J. McKoy, II, federal prisoner # 19319-047, appeals from the order
of the district court dismissing his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 habeas corpus action. He
challenges a prison disciplinary hearing at which he was found guilty of
possession of anything unauthorized and unauthorized use of the mail.
On appeal, McKoy argues that the district court should have construed his
§ 2241 petition as a prisoner civil rights action pursuant to Bivens v. Six
Unknown Named Agents of Federal Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971), or
*
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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. 12-40647
as a challenge under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) once it determined
that McKoy had failed to make a cognizable habeas corpus claim. McKoy did not
raise his Bivens contention in the district court, so we will not consider it, see
Wilson v. Roy, 643 F.3d 433, 435 n.1 (5th Cir. 2011), cert. denied, 132 S. Ct. 1062
(2012), and his APA contentions, though raised in the district court, are
unavailing on the merits, see Evans v. Martin, 496 F. App’x 442, 444-45 & n.1
(5th Cir. 2012).
AFFIRMED.
