Jeremiah S. Berg, Petitioner, v. Sekou Ma'at, Warden, Respondent.
ORDER
Jeffrey J. Helmick, United States District Judge
Petitioner Jeremiah S. Berg, proceeding without the assistance of counsel, filed a petition for habeas corpus relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2241, challenging his 2011 conviction in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin on charges of distribution of illegal substances and possession of firearms. (Doc. No. 1). I denied his petition after concluding Berg could not pursue his claims under § 2241. (Doc. No. 9). Berg appealed, and the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals held that, while my ruling was incorrect, Berg's petition must be dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction because Berg failed to satisfy the savings clause. See Berg v. Ma'at, Case No. 22-3373, Order dated Nov. 1, 2022. The Sixth Circuit then remanded the case for further proceedings. (Doc. No. 13).
In compliance with the appellate mandate, I hereby order that Berg's petition is dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
So Ordered.
