United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit F I L E D IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT April 11, 2006 Charles R. Fulbruge III Clerk No. 05-10526 Conference Calendar LENNIE JOHN, Petitioner-Appellant, versus COLE JETER, Warden, Federal Medical Center Fort Worth, Respondent-Appellee. -------------------Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas USDC No. 4:04-CV-822 -------------------Before JONES, Chief Judge, and JOLLY and DAVIS, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:* Lennie John, federal prisoner No. 05055-088, appeals the district court s dismissal of a 28 U.S.C. § 2241 habeas petition challenging his conviction and sentence for distribution of cocaine base. John challenges the constitutionality of his sentence in light of United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220 (2005) and United States v. Blakely, 542 U.S. 296 (2004). John alleges errors that occurred at sentencing, which may not be asserted in a § 2241 petition unless they arise under the savings clause of 28 U.S.C. § 2255. * See Padilla v. United 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. 05-10526 -2States, 416 F.3d 424, 426-27 (5th Cir. 2005). As John has failed to show that he is entitled to proceed under the § 2255 savings clause, see id., the district court did not err by dismissing John s § 2241 petition for lack of jurisdiction. Miles, 342 F.3d 378, 385 (5th Cir. 2003). AFFIRMED. Christopher v.
