JERRELL LAMAR MEADOWS,
Plaintiff-Appellant,

KHURSHID YUSUFF,
Defendant-Appellee.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Mississippi
USDC No. 5:99-CV-87-BrS
--------------------
August 22, 2000
Before KING, Chief Judge, and POLITZ and WIENER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Jerrell Lamar Meadows, federal prisoner #86453-071, appeals
from the dismissal of his application for 28 U.S.C. § 2241 habeas
corpus relief, which the district court construed as a motion for
relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 and dismissed for lack of
jurisdiction. A § 2255 motion is not inadequate or ineffective,
allowing a prisoner to pursue relief under § 2241, because the
§ 2255 motion would fail to satisfy the requirements for
obtaining authorization to file a successive motion. Tolliver v.
Dobre, 211 F.3d 876, 877-78 (5th Cir. 2000). The only court with

jurisdiction over Meadows’s § 2255 motion was the District Court
in South Carolina. The district court did not err by dismissing
Meadows’s motion for lack of jurisdiction.
APPEAL DISMISSED. 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.
