Respondent-Appellee.

--------------------

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Mississippi

USDC No. 5:01-CV-297-BrS

--------------------

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, EMILIO M. GARZA, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Pedro Luis Sanchez, federal prisoner # 03833-030, appeals

the district court’s dismissal of his petition challenging the

validity of his conviction and sentence under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. 

Because Sanchez’s 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition challenged the

validity of his conviction and sentence, Sanchez had to show that

28 U.S.C. § 2255 provided him with an inadequate or ineffective

remedy. Tolliver v. Dobre, 211 F.3d 876, 878 (5th Cir. 2000). 

However, Sanchez has failed to make a sufficient showing. Cf.

Wesson v. U.S. Penitentiary, Beaumont, TX, 305 F.3d 343, 347-48

(5th Cir. 2002). The district court’s dismissal of Sanchez’s 28

U.S.C. § 2241 petition is therefore AFFIRMED. Sanchez’s other

motions are DENIED.
