PER CURIAM: Desmond Samuel Skyers, federal prisoner #29301-037, appeals the dismissal of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition challenging his cocaine-trafficking convictions and his 360-month sentence. Skyers was convicted in the Eastern District of North Carolina. In the § 2241 petition, filed in the Northern District of Texas, Skyers challenged his sentence under United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005), and related cases.
The district court concluded that Skyers was directly contesting the imposition of his sentence, a challenge that may be brought only under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 and only in the district in which Skyers was sentenced. See Lee v. Wetzel, 244 F.3d 370, 373-74 & n. 3 (5th Cir.2001). Observing that any § 2255 motion would be barred by the one-year limitations provision and would be dismissed as successive, the district court dismissed Skyers’s petition. On appeal, Skyers has failed to address the legal basis on which the district court dismissed his habeas petition.
This is the same as if he had failed to appeal the judgment. See Matchett v. Dretke, 380 F.3d 844, 848 (5th Cir.2004). In any event, the district court lacked authority to consider Skyers’s petition under § 2241 because Skyers was not attacking the manner in which his sentence was executed. See Padilla v. United States, 416 F.3d 424, 425-26 (5th Cir.2005). AFFIRMED. Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir R. 47.5.4.
