STEPHEN WAYNE NORWOOD,
Petitioner-Appellant,
versus
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Respondent-Appellee.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
USDC No. 7:06-CV-119
--------------------
Before WIENER, GARZA, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Stephen Wayne Norwood, Texas prisoner # 601001, appeals from
the district court’s dismissal of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition
as duplicative of a 28 U.S.C. § 2254 application. Norwood
challenges his transfer from federal prison to state prison,
contending that the state parole revocation procedure is
defective.
Norwood contended in both actions that he should not be
transferred back to the Texas prison system because of
deficiencies in his parole revocation proceedings there.

No. 06-11371
-2-
Norwood’s § 2241 petition relied on the same series of events and
operative facts as his § 2254 application. The district court
did not err by dismissing the § 2241 petition as duplicative.
See Pittman v. Moore, 980 F.2d 994, 994-95 (5th Cir. 1993).
AFFIRMED.
