MEMORANDUM*

2
Federal prisoner Jody Moreno appeals pro se the district court's denial of her 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition for writ of habeas corpus challenging the special parole term imposed in 1977 and modified in 1979 for her conviction for conspiracy to distribute and distribution of heroin.  We affirm the district court's conclusion that it lacked jurisdiction under section 2241 over Moreno's petition.  See Grady v. United States, 929 F.2d 468, 470 (9th Cir.1991) (28 U.S.C. § 2255 is proper remedy to challenge term imposed by sentencing court).

AFFIRMED.

 The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument.  See Fed.  R.App. P. 34(a);  9th Cir.  R. 34-4
