PER CURIAM:
Jeffrey A. Pleasant appeals the district court’s orders dismissing for lack of
jurisdiction his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition and denying reconsideration. Applying the
principles as set forth in our recent decision in Slusser v. Vereen, 36 F.4th 590, 594-96
(4th Cir. 2022), we agree with the district court that Pleasant failed to satisfy the
requirements of the savings clause of 28 U.S.C. § 2255(e). Accordingly, having reviewed
the record and finding no reversible error, we affirm the district court’s orders. Pleasant v.
Breckon, No. 7:19-cv-00200-MFU-JCH (W.D. Va. Mar. 20, 2020; Jan. 11, 2021). We
dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately
presented in the material before this court and argument would not aid in the decisional
process.
AFFIRMED
