Gregory Steven Gonzales, Fort Worth, TX, pro se.
Before BARKSDALE, HAYNES, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
Gregory Steven Gonzales, proceeding in forma pauperis and pro se, federal prisoner # 32193-177, appeals the dismissal of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition. It was dismissed because Gonzales failed to seek relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2255, as required, rather than under § 2241.
Although pro se briefs are afforded liberal construction, claims must be briefed to be preserved. Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 225 (5th Cir.1998) (citation omitted). Gonzales does not contend the district court erred by dismissing on this basis; therefore, he has failed to brief the relevant issue for appeal. See id. at 224-25. '
AFFIRMED.
Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
