Angelo GALLOWAY, Petitioner-Appellant, v. Eric WILSON, Respondent-Appellee.
    No. 16-7436
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted: February 28, 2017
    Decided: April 12, 2017
    Angelo Galloway, Appellant Pro Se.
    Before SHEDD, KEENAN, and HARRIS, Circuit Judges.
   Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit'.

PER CURIAM:

Angelo Galloway, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court’s order dismissing his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2012) petition for lack of jurisdiction. We review the district court’s dismissal order de novo. See Yi v. Fed. Bureau of Prisons, 412 F.3d 526, 530 (4th Cir. 2005). Upon a thorough review of the record, we conclude that the district court properly determined that it lacked authority to consider the merits of Galloway’s claims under § 2241, as he failed to demonstrate that 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2012) was “inadequate or ineffective to test the legality of his detention.” 28 U.S.C. § 2255(e); see In re Jones, 226 F.3d 328, 333-34 (4th Cir. 2000) (describing test).

Accordingly, although we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we modify the district court’s dismissal to one without prejudice and affirm as modified for the reasons stated by the district court. Galloway v. Wilson, No. 2:16-cv-00348-MSD-LRL (E.D. Va. Oct. 4, 2016); see S. Walk at Broadlands Homeowner’s Ass’n, Inc. v. OpenBand at Broadlands, LLC, 713 F.3d 175, 185 (4th Cir. 2013) (recognizing that dismissal for defect in subject matter jurisdiction “must be one without prejudice”). We deny Galloway’s motions for bail or release pending appeal and for summary judgment. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED AS MODIFIED
