PER CURIAM.
Federal inmate Chima Iheke appeals the district court’s1 dismissal of his 28
U.S.C. § 2241 petition for lack of jurisdiction. Following careful review of the record
and the parties’ briefs, we conclude that the court did not err in dismissing the
petition because 28 U.S.C. § 2255 relief is neither inadequate nor ineffective to test
the legality of Iheke’s detention. See 28 U.S.C. § 2255(e); Hill v. Morrison, 349 F.3d
1089, 1091 (8th Cir. 2003) (de novo review). The judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir.
R. 47B.
