Respondent-Appellee.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Texas
USDC No. 1:05-CV-218
--------------------
Before GARZA, DENNIS, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Bobby Norris McAfee, a federal prisoner (# 25170-177),
appeals the dismissal of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 habeas petition
challenging his 235-month prison sentence imposed following his
1993 guilty-plea conviction of a Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt
Organizations Act offense. McAfee contends that his sentence is
unconstitutional in light of United States v. Booker,
543 U.S.
220 (2005).
*
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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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. 05-40942
-2-
Because McAfee challenges errors that occurred at
sentencing, the claim may not be asserted in a § 2241 petition.
See Padilla v. United States,
416 F.3d 424, 426-27 (5th Cir.
2005). Insofar as he has suggested that he is entitled to
proceed under § 2241 based on the “savings clause” of 28 U.S.C.
§ 2255, because relief under the latter section is “inadequate or
ineffective,” such suggestion is unavailing.
Id. at 427. The
district court’s judgment is AFFIRMED.
