v.

Respondent-Appellee
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
USDC No. 3:05-CV-2049
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, SMITH, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Terrance Lanair Johnson, federal prisoner # 23845-077, appeals the
dismissal of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition. The district court dismissed the
petition for lack of jurisdiction after construing it as a successive and
unauthorized motion under 28 U.S.C. § 2255.
The district court’s construction of Johnson’s petition as a § 2255 motion
was correct because the petition attacked Johnson’s 1993 convictions and

sentences for drug and firearm crimes. See Tolliver v. Dobre, 211 F.3d 876, 877-
78 (5th Cir. 2000). The § 2255 motion is successive because Johnson has filed
at least one prior § 2255 motion. See United States v. Orozco-Ramirez, 211 F.3d
862, 867-69 (5th Cir. 2000).
The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
