Cleveland BRANDON, Petitioner-Appellant, v. David R. WILSON, Warden, Respondent-Appellee, 699 F. App'x 283

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Cleveland Brandon, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court’s order adopting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and dismissing his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2012) petition. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Brandon has failed to satisfy his burden of demonstrating that 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2012) is an inadequate or ineffective means of challenging the validity of his detention. See Rice v. Rivera, 617 F.3d 802, 807 (4th Cir. 2010); United States v. Poole, 531 F.3d 263, 267 n.7 (4th Cir. 2008).

As such, the district court lacked jurisdiction over Brandon’s petition. Rice, 617 F.3d at 807. Accordingly, we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis; modify the order, Brandon v. Wilson, No. 3-16-cv-00142-GMG-JES, 2017 WL 707490 (N.D.W. Va., Feb. 22, 2017), to reflect a dismissal without prejudice for lack of jurisdiction; and affirm the dismissal as modified, 28 U.S.C. § 2106 (2012). We deny Brandon’s motion to remand. 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 AS MODIFIED
