               Appeal from the United States District Court
                 for the Southern District of Mississippi
                         USDC No. 3:21-CV-592

Before Jolly, Jones, and Ho, Circuit Judges.
Per Curiam:*
       Ahmed Sala Ali Burale, federal prisoner # 77996-083, appeals from the
dismissal of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition challenging his conviction and
sentence for piracy under 18 U.S.C. § 1651. Burale argues that he is actually

       *
         Pursuant to 5th Circuit Rule 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opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited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 Circuit Rule 47.5.4.
                                 No. 21-60833

innocent of the offense because the district court lacked personal jurisdiction
over him. He contends that a claim of actual innocence falls under the
savings clause of 28 U.S.C. § 2255(e).
       To attack a conviction or sentence under § 2241, a prisoner must
satisfy the savings clause of § 2255(e) by showing the inadequacy or
ineffectiveness of the § 2255 remedy. Reyes-Requena v. United States, 243
F.3d 893, 900-01 (5th Cir. 2001). A prisoner makes this showing if he
demonstrates that his petition raises a previously foreclosed claim based on a
retroactively applicable Supreme Court decision establishing that he may
have been convicted of a nonexistent offense. Id. at 904.
       Burale does not make the showing required under the savings clause.
See Reyes-Requena, 243 F.3d at 904. Moreover, the case cited by Burale for
the existence of an actual-innocence exception for § 2241 petitions,
McQuiggin v. Perkins, 569 U.S. 383 (2013), does not support his contention.
       The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
