Before REAVLEY, JOLLY and HIGGINBOTHAM, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Adrian Rosales, Texas prisoner # 1015463, appeals from the

district court’s dismissal of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition in

which sued the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement to

attack his 2002 removal order.   The district court held that it

lacked jurisdiction over the petition because Rosales, who is

currently serving a 65-year state sentence for aggravated

kidnaping, is not is not in custody on any immigration charge.

     *
        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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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. 04-10630
                               -2-

     Rosales has not demonstrated error in the district court's

determination that he failed to meet the “in custody” requirement

for purposes of 28 U.S.C. § 2241 jurisdiction.   See Zolicoffer v.

United States Dep’t of Justice, 315 F.3d 538, 540 (5th Cir.

2003); United States ex rel. Marcello v. Dist. Director, INS,

634 F.2d 964, 970 (5th Cir. 1981).

     AFFIRMED.
