PER CURIAM:
Julius Andrew Reason, III, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court’s order
accepting the magistrate judge’s recommendation and dismissing without prejudice
Reason’s 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition in which he sought to challenge his convictions by way
of the savings clause in 28 U.S.C. § 2255(e). In light of the Supreme Court’s decision in
Jones v. Hendrix, 599 U.S. 465, 477-80 (2023) (holding that petitioner cannot use § 2241
petition to mount successive collateral challenges to federal convictions or sentence), we
conclude that Reason cannot pursue his challenges in a § 2241 petition. Accordingly, we
affirm the district court’s order. Reason v. Janson, No. 4:23-cv-01894-BHH (D.S.C. Oct.
20, 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
