Jerron D. LOLLIS, Petitioner-Appellant v. WARDEN, FCI SEAGOVILLE, Respondent-Appellee.
    No. 06-11842
    Summary Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    Sept. 18, 2007.
    Jerron D. Lollis, Seagoville, TX, pro se.
    Before KING, DAVIS, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Jerron D. Lollis, Texas prisoner #04759-068, was convicted of conspiracy to distribute cocaine, distribution of cocaine, and a related firearms offense, and he was sentenced to 248 months of imprisonment. Lollis filed a 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion in the Western District of Pennsylvania, the district in which he was convicted, and the motion was denied.

Lollis filed in the district court a petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2241, seeking relief pursuant to United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005), Blakely v. Washington, 542 U.S. 296, 124 S.Ct. 2531, 159 L.Ed.2d 403 (2004), and Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000). The district court dismissed the petition for lack of jurisdiction, finding that Lollis failed to meet the conditions of § 2255’s savings clause. Lollis filed a motion in the district court for leave to appeal in forma pauperis (IFP). The district court denied the motion.

Lollis’s claims do not fall under the savings clause of § 2255; thus, he may not pursue relief under § 2241. See Padilla v. United States, 416 F.3d 424, 427 (5th Cir. 2005); Reyes-Requena v. United States, 243 F.3d 893, 904 (5th Cir.2001). Lollis’s appeal presents an issue that “is frivolous and entirely without merit.” 5th Cíe. R. 42.2. Accordingly, his appeal is dismissed. Lollis’s motion to proceed IFP on appeal is denied.

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       Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
