PER CURIAM:

David Glenn Green appeals from the district court’s order 

denying his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2012) petition. Green contends 

that he is no longer a career offender after Johnson v. United 

States, 135 S. Ct. 2551 (2015). However, Green received a 

mandatory life sentence under 18 U.S.C. § 3559(c) (2012). As 

such, his sentence was not driven by his career offender status. 

While Green contends that he was incorrectly sentenced under 

§ 3559(c), we hold that this claim is not cognizable under 28 

U.S.C. § 2241 (2012), given the facts of Green’s case. 

Accordingly, although we grant leave to proceed in forma 

pauperis, we affirm the district court’s order. 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
