1Opinion of the Court
THACKER, Circuit Judge:
In the district court, Gerald Wheeler ("Appellant") sought to have his habeas corpus petition heard on the merits by means of the "savings clause" per 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (e). The savings clause provides that an individual may seek relief from an illegal detention by way of a traditional 28 U.S.C. § 2241 habeas corpus petition, if he or she can demonstrate that a § 2255 motion is "inadequate or ineffective to test the legality of his detention." 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (e). The district court denied Appellant's savings clause request and dismissed his § 2241 petition.
