                          August 22, 2000

Before KING, Chief Judge, and POLITZ and WIENER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Jerrell Lamar Meadows, federal prisoner #86453-071, appeals

from the dismissal of his application for 28 U.S.C. § 2241 habeas

corpus relief, which the district court construed as a motion for

relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 and dismissed for lack of

jurisdiction.   A § 2255 motion is not inadequate or ineffective,

allowing a prisoner to pursue relief under § 2241, because the

§ 2255 motion would fail to satisfy the requirements for

obtaining authorization to file a successive motion.    Tolliver v.

Dobre, 211 F.3d 876, 877-78 (5th Cir. 2000).   The only court with

                                -2-

jurisdiction over Meadows’s § 2255 motion was the District Court

in South Carolina.   The district court did not err by dismissing

Meadows’s motion for lack of jurisdiction.

     APPEAL DISMISSED.   5TH CIR. R. 42.2.
