v.

WARDEN USP POLLOCK,

                                                 Respondent-Appellee

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                      for the Western District of Louisiana
                             USDC No. 1:17-CV-809

Before REAVLEY, GRAVES, and HO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Tramaine Mondale Beadles, federal prisoner # 15213-031, was convicted
of bank robbery by force, violence, or intimidation, and he was sentenced to a
term of imprisonment of 210 months. He now appeals the district court’s
dismissal of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition in which he argued that, in light of
the decisions in Mathis v. United States, 136 S. Ct. 2243 (2016) and Sharbutt
v. Vasquez, 136 S. Ct. 2538 (2016), his prior burglary convictions are no longer

       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.
    Case: 17-30815    Document: 00514572132     Page: 2   Date Filed: 07/26/2018

                                 No. 17-30815

categorized as violent felonies and cannot support the career offender
enhancement of his sentence. He asserts that the district court erred in
determining that he has not demonstrated that he was entitled to proceed
under the savings clause of 28 U.S.C. § 2255(e).
      Our review is de novo. Padilla v. United States, 416 F.3d 424, 425 (5th
Cir. 2005). Under the savings clause of § 2255(e), a § 2241 petition may be
considered if Beadles shows that § 2255 is “inadequate or ineffective to test the
legality of his detention.” § 2255(e). To satisfy § 2255(e)’s saving clause,
Beadles must establish that (1) his claim is “based on a retroactively applicable
Supreme Court decision which establishes that the petitioner may have been
convicted of a nonexistent offense,” and (2) his claim was “foreclosed by circuit
law at the time when the claim should have been raised in [his] trial, appeal,
or first § 2255 motion.” Reyes-Requena v. United States, 243 F.3d 893, 904 (5th
Cir. 2001).
      Beadles has failed to make the requisite showing. See id. at 904. We
have repeatedly held that challenges to the validity of a sentencing
enhancement do not satisfy the savings clause of § 2255(e) See, e.g., In re
Bradford, 660 F.3d 226, 230 (5th Cir. 2011); Padilla, 416 F.3d at 426-27.
      The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
