    Submitted Dec. 6, 2004.
    
    Decided Dec. 9, 2004.
    Derrick George Wynter, Florence Correctional Center, Florence, AZ, pro se.
    Before: GOODWIN, WALLACE, and TROTT, Circuit Judges.
    
      
       This panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R.App. P. 34(a)(2).
    
   MEMORANDUM

Arizona prisoner Derrick George Wynter appeals pro se the district court’s judgment denying his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition for lack of jurisdiction. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2253, and we affirm.

Wynter contends that he is not removable because he is a national of the United States. The district court correctly dismissed Wynter’s petition because it had no jurisdiction to address his claim. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(5).

AFFIRMED.
