Before COLLOTON, ERICKSON, and KOBES, Circuit Judges.
                         ____________

PER CURIAM.
       Charles Pollock appeals after the district court1 denied his 28 U.S.C. § 2241
petition, which challenged his custody classification within the Bureau of Prisons.
After careful review, we conclude the district court correctly determined it did not
have jurisdiction over the section 2241 petition. See Hill v. Morrison, 349 F.3d 1089,
1091 (8th Cir. 2003) (district court’s dismissal of § 2241 petition reviewed de novo);
Kruger v. Erickson, 77 F.3d 1071, 1073 (8th Cir. 1996) (per curiam) (if prisoner is
not challenging validity of conviction or length of detention, habeas corpus is not
proper remedy). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                        ______________________________

      1
      The Honorable David S. Doty, United States District Judge for the District of
Minnesota, adopting the report and recommendation of the Honorable Becky R.
Thorson, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of Minnesota.
