OPINION OF THE COURT
_______________
PER CURIAM
Cearful Speight, Jr. appeals from an order of the United States District Court for
the District of New Jersey, dismissing the petition he filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241.
The District Court noted that Speight had previously filed a § 2241 petition raising the
same claims, which it had dismissed for lack of jurisdiction, and that this Court affirmed

on appeal. See Speight v. Nash, D. N.J. Civ. No. 05-319 (FLW); Speight v. Nash, C.A.
No. 05-2011(judgment entered May 31, 2005). As this Court has previously affirmed the
District Court’s holding that it lacked jurisdiction to consider Speight’s arguments, it
follows that the District Court similarly lacked jurisdiction to consider the identical
arguments brought in the instant petition. We will therefore summarily affirm the District
Court’s order.
