PER CURIAM:
Danny Angel Rodriguez, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court’s order
accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying relief on Rodriguez’s
28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition in which Rodriguez sought to challenge his conviction by way
of the savings clause in 28 U.S.C. § 2255. Pursuant to § 2255(e), a prisoner may challenge
his conviction in a traditional writ of habeas corpus pursuant to § 2241 only if a § 2255
motion would be inadequate or ineffective to test the legality of his detention. See also
Jones v. Hendrix, 599 U.S. 465, 478 (2023) (noting that a federal prisoner may only seek
relief by way of § 2241 when “unusual circumstances make it impossible or impracticable
to seek relief in the sentencing court, as well as [] challenges to detention other than
collateral attacks on a sentence”). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible
error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Rodriguez v. Warden Janson FCI
Edgefield, No. 1:23-cv-01893-HMH (D.S.C. filed June 28 & entered June 29, 2023). We
grant Rodriguez’s motion for an extension of time. 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
