                               OPINION OF THE COURT
                                  _______________

PER CURIAM

       Cearful Speight, Jr. appeals from an order of the United States District Court for

the District of New Jersey, dismissing the petition he filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241.

The District Court noted that Speight had previously filed a § 2241 petition raising the

same claims, which it had dismissed for lack of jurisdiction, and that this Court affirmed
on appeal. See Speight v. Nash, D. N.J. Civ. No. 05-319 (FLW); Speight v. Nash, C.A.

No. 05-2011(judgment entered May 31, 2005). As this Court has previously affirmed the

District Court’s holding that it lacked jurisdiction to consider Speight’s arguments, it

follows that the District Court similarly lacked jurisdiction to consider the identical

arguments brought in the instant petition. We will therefore summarily affirm the District

Court’s order.
