This is the second time that Petitioner has attempted to challenge his conviction and sentence under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. See Yirkovsky v. Gonzales, Civ. 07-4090 (D.S.D. 2007). Petitioner's previous § 2241 habeas was denied by this Court because he failed to show that his remedy under § 2255 is inadequate. See id. at Doc. 9 (Memorandum Opinion and Order). This second application for a writ of habeas corpus under § 2241 will be denied for the same reasons that his earlier application was denied. Petitioner's argument that he received ineffective assistance of counsel in his § 2255 post-conviction motion does not change the result. See Abdullah v. Hedrick, 392 F.3d 957, 963-964 (8th Cir. 2004) (rejecting claim that § 2255 inadequate due to ineffectiveness of § 2255 counsel because there is no constitutional right to effective counsel in post-conviction habeas proceedings). Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the Application for Habeas Corpus Under 28 U.S.C. § 2241, Doc. 1, is denied with prejudice. Dated this 1\\ ay of October, 2008. ATTEST: JOSEPH HAAS, CLERK BY~' Deputy
