PER CURIAM:
David Cain, Jr., appeals the district court’s orders dismissing his 28 U.S.C. § 2241
petition and denying reconsideration. In light of the Supreme Court’s decision in Jones v.
Hendrix, 599 U.S. 465, 477-80 (2023) (holding that petitioner cannot use § 2241 petition
to mount successive collateral attack on validity of federal conviction or sentence), we
conclude that Cain cannot pursue his claims in a § 2241 petition. Accordingly, we affirm
the district court’s orders. Cain v. Streeval, No. 7:21-cv-00338-TTC-RSB (W.D. Va. July
28, 2022; Oct. 17, 2022). We deny Cain’s motion to appoint counsel. 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
