William J.R. EMBREY, Petitioner-Appellant, v. Melvin MORRISON, Warden; United States Congress; United States Attorney General, Respondents-Appellees.
    No. 03-40771
    Conference Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    Dec. 9, 2003.
    
      William J. R. Embrey, pro se, Florence, CO, for Petitioner-Appellant.
    Before DAVIS, EMILIO M. GARZA, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

William J.R. Embrey, federal prisoner #87263-132, appeals the district court’s dismissal of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 habeas corpus petition, which challenged his conviction for felony possession of a firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g). Embrey argues that his conviction was invalid under United, States v. Emerson, 270 F.3d 203 (5th Cir.2001). He also cites various Supreme Court cases decided before he was convicted of the noted offense.

Although Embrey could proceed under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 if he demonstrated that 28 U.S.C. § 2255 relief was “inadequate or ineffective” under the latter statute’s “savings clause,” he has failed to make such a showing. See Reyes-Requena v. United States, 243 F.3d 893, 904 (5th Cir.2001). Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED. 
      
       Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
