Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Christopher Barfield, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court's order dismissing his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition for lack of jurisdiction. In light of the Supreme Court's recent decision in Jones v. Hendrix, 143 S.Ct. 1857, 1868-69 (2023) (holding that petitioner cannot use § 2241 petition by way of the savings clause in 28 U.S.C. § 2255(e) to mount successive collateral attack on validity of federal conviction), we conclude that Barfield cannot pursue his claims in a § 2241 petition.
Accordingly, we affirm the district court's order dismissing Barfield's § 2241 petition. Barfield v. Streeval, No. 7:21-cv-00190-EKD-JCH (W.D. Va. May 31, 2022). 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.
