Respondent-Appellee.

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

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Eastern District of Texas

USDC No. 1:01-CV-158

Before JOLLY, JONES, and SMITH, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Jose Santos Gallegos, federal prisoner #18816-077, appeals

from the district court’s dismissal of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241

petition. Gallegos argues that the district court erred by

holding that his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition was subject to

28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition. See Reyes-Requena v. United States,

243 F.3d 893, 904 (5th Cir. 2001). Accordingly, the district

court’s judgment is AFFIRMED.
