for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute cocaine and possession with
intent to distribute cocaine. The district court lacked jurisdiction to entertain
Carbe’s petition, because Carbe’s challenge to the fine element of his sentence
does not satisfy the “in custody” requirement of § 2241 or 28 U.S.C. § 2255. See,
e.g., § 2241(c); United States v. Segler, 37 F.3d 1131, 1137 (5th Cir. 1994); United
States v. Hatten, 167 F.3d 884, 887 (5th Cir. 1999). Accordingly, the order is va-
cated, and this case is remanded with instruction to enter an order dismissing
Carbe’s petition for lack of jurisdiction. Carbe’s motion to proceed in forma pau-
peris is denied.
VACATED AND REMANDED; IN FORMA PAUPERIS DENIED.
