PER CURIAM:
Fred Hall appeals the district court’s order accepting the recommendation of the
magistrate judge and dismissing Hall’s 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition for lack of jurisdiction.
In light of the Supreme Court’s recent decision in Jones v. Hendrix, No. 21-857, 2023 WL
4110233, at *7-9 (U.S. June 22, 2023) (holding that petitioner cannot use § 2241 petition
to mount successive collateral attack on validity of federal sentence), we conclude that Hall
cannot pursue his claims in a § 2241 petition.
Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order dismissing Hall’s § 2241 petition.
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately
presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
AFFIRMED
