Robinson v. Jeter

U.S. Courts of Appeals

Decided November 21, 2007

U.S. Courts of Appeals · decided 2007-11-21

Applies 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996)

Relies on Reyes-Requena v. United States · Pack v. Yusuff

Decided 2007-11-21

PER CURIAM: *

¶1 Norman E. Robinson, federal prisoner # 04307-003, was convicted and sentenced for conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine and phenylacetone. Robinson now appeals the district court’s dismissal of his § 2241 petition in which he challenged the validity of his indictment on the basis that it did not allege the quantity of drugs for which he was sentenced. The district court dismissed the petition, finding that Robinson was attempting to collaterally attack his conviction and sentence and that 28 U.S.C. § 2255 was therefore the correct procedural vehicle for Robinson’s claims. Because Robinson challenges the validity of his sentence in his § 2241 petition but has failed to demonstrate that his claims fall within the “savings clause” of § 2255, the district court did not err in dismissing his § 2241 petition. See Reyes-Requena v. United States, 243 F.3d 893, 901-04 (5th Cir.2001); Pack v. Yusuff, 218 F.3d 448, 451 (5th Cir.2000).

¶2 AFFIRMED.

*

¶3 Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
