PER CURIAM:
Jontavious Kyree Lyons, a federal prisoner, filed a 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition
seeking to challenge his sentence by way of the savings clause in 28 U.S.C. § 2255(e). He
appeals the district court’s order dismissing his § 2241 petition without prejudice for lack
of jurisdiction. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly,
we affirm the district court’s order. Lyons v. Streeval, No. 7:23-cv-00035-TTC-JCH (W.D.
Va. Dec. 5, 2023); see Jones v. Hendrix, 599 U.S. 465, 477-80 (2023) (holding that a
petitioner cannot use a § 2241 petition to mount successive collateral challenges to federal
sentence). However, we remand this matter to the district court to correct the mistaken
reference to Lyons as “Reid” on page 4 of the district court’s opinion. 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 AND REMANDED
