Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
USDC No. 3:05-CV-220
--------------------
Before JONES, Chief Judge, and JOLLY and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Larry Lee Martin, federal prisoner # 04976-078, appeals the
district court’s dismissal of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition,
wherein he challenged his conviction for conspiracy to possess
with intent to distribute crack cocaine, in violation of 21
U.S.C. § 846, possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine,
in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841, and using or carrying a firearm
during commission of a drug trafficking crime, in violation of 18
U.S.C. § 924(c). Martin challenged his conviction based on
*

Bailey v. United States,
516 U.S. 137 (1995), and United States
v. Booker,
543 U.S. 220 (2005).
Martin argues that his challenge to the firearms offense
falls within the savings clause of 28 U.S.C. § 2255 in light of
Bailey and Bousley v. United States,
523 U.S. 614 (1998). He
also argues that the district court abused its discretion by
dismissing his Booker claim with prejudice. “[T]he savings
clause of § 2255 applies to a claim (i) that is based on a
retroactively applicable Supreme Court decision which establishes
that the petitioner may have been convicted of a nonexistent
offense and (ii) that was foreclosed by circuit law at the time
when the claim should have been raised in the petitioner’s trial,
appeal, or first § 2255 motion.” Reyes-Requena v. United States,
243 F.3d 893, 904 (5th Cir. 2001).
Martin raised a Bailey challenge to his § 924(c) conviction
in his first § 2255 motion, and he has not shown that his claim
was foreclosed when he sought § 2255 relief. Further, Martin’s
claims based on Booker are foreclosed in light of Padilla v.
United States,
416 F.3d 424, 427 (5th Cir. 2005). Accordingly,
the district court’s judgment is AFFIRMED.
