PER CURIAM:
Lodise Wadley, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court’s orders dismissing his
28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition in which he sought to challenge his felon-in-possession
convictions and his sentence by way of the savings clause in 28 U.S.C. § 2255(e), and
denying his motion for reconsideration. In light of the Supreme Court’s decision in Jones
v. Hendrix, 599 U.S. 465, 477-80 (2023) (holding that a prisoner cannot use § 2241 petition
to mount successive collateral attack on validity of federal conviction or sentence), we
conclude that Wadley cannot pursue his claims in a § 2241 petition. Accordingly, we
affirm the district court’s orders. Wadley v. Hudgins, No. 1:20-cv-00020-JPB-JPM
(N.D.W. Va. Dec. 13, 2022; Jan. 4, 2023). 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
