UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Respondent-Appellee

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Mississippi

USDC No. 5:09-CV-40

Before GARZA, CLEMENT, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Herman Douglas Carter, Jr., federal prisoner # 83346-020, appeals the

district court’s dismissal of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition, in which he challenged

his conviction for aggravated sexual assault and kidnaping and resulting 327-

to proceed under § 2241 based on the savings clause of § 2255(e). See ReyesRequena v. United States, 243 F.3d 893, 900-01, 904 (5th Cir. 2001). Carter has

waived the issue by failing to brief it. See Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 224-25

(5th Cir. 1993); Brinkmann v. Dallas County Deputy Sheriff Abner, 813 F.2d 744,

748 (5th Cir. 1987). The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED. Carter’s

“motion requesting a bond hearing be set,” “motion for emergency hearing for

writ of habeas corpus,” and motion to remand incorporated therein are DENIED.

See Calley v. Callaway, 496 F.2d 701, 702 (5th Cir. 1974).
