                                          Respondent-Appellee

                 Appeal from the United States District Court
                      for the Eastern District of Texas
                           USDC No. 1:07-CV-606

Before KING, BARKSDALE, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
      Joel Lopez-Fernandez (Lopez), federal prisoner # 06964-030, appeals the
denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition challenging his methamphetamine and
firearms convictions.   The district court determined that Lopez’s claims
collaterally attacked his conviction and, as such, he was precluded from
proceeding via § 2241 because he had failed to show the 28 U.S.C. § 2255 remedy
inadequate. See Reyes-Requena v. United States, 243 F.3d 893, 904 (5th Cir.

      *
      Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 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should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited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 CIR. R. 47.5.4.
                                 No. 08-40086

2001). Lopez has failed to assign error to or address that determination and has
therefore waived its review. See Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 224-25 (5th Cir.
1993).
      AFFIRMED.
