ORDER and JUDGMBN'l'* 

Before ANDERSON, BALDOCK and EBEL, Circuit Judges. 

After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel 

has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially 

assist the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 

34(a); 10th Cir. R. 34.1.9. · The cause is therefore ordered 

submitted without oral argument. 

Petitioner John Ware currently is incarcerated at the federal 

correctional facility at Bastrop, Texas. He brought this action 

pursuant to 28 u.s.c. S 2241 for a writ of habeas corpus in the 

Western District of Oklahoma. Relief pursuant to 28 u.s.c. S 2255 

was unavailable because the petition did not address the validity 

* This order and judgment has no precedential value and shall 

not be cited, or used by any court within the Tenth Circuit, 

except for purposes of establishing the doctrines of the law of 

the case, res judicata, or collateral estoppel. 10th Cir. R. 

36.3.

of his sentence, only its execution. United States v. Scott, ,803 

F.2d 1095, 1096 (10th Cir. 1986). The district court correctly 

dismissed the suit for lack of jurisdiction, for a§ 2241 petition 

must be brought in the petitioner's district of confinement. Id. 

The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
