PER CURIAM.

Federal inmate Jerome Perry Hearne appeals the district court’s1

 order

dismissing his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition. The district court found Hearne’s inability

to file a successive 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion did not make section 2255 inadequate

or ineffective to test the legality of his sentence, and we agree. See Hill v. Morrison,

349 F.3d 1089, 1091 (8th Cir. 2003) (prisoner has burden of demonstrating § 2255

-2-

relief in the sentencing court would be inadequate or ineffective; § 2241 relief is not

available merely because prisoner faces substantive or procedural barrier to § 2255

relief). Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. See 8th Cir. R.

47B. We deny as moot Hearne’s motion for an expedited ruling.
