Torry T. Lewis, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

      Torry T. Lewis, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court’s order dismissing his

28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2012) petition for lack of jurisdiction. Applying our recent decision in

United States v. Wheeler, 886 F.3d 415 (4th Cir. 2018), petition for cert. filed, __

U.S.L.W. __ (U.S. Oct. 3, 2018) (No. 18-420), we conclude that Lewis cannot challenge

his sentence under § 2241 because he has failed to satisfy the requirements of the savings

clause of 28 U.S.C. § 2255(e) (2012). Accordingly, we grant leave to proceed in forma

pauperis and affirm the district court’s judgment.     We dispense with oral argument

because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before

this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

                                                                              AFFIRMED

                                            2
