Jones v. Goetz

ORDER AND JUDGMENT *

Carolyn B. McHugh, Circuit Judge

Curtis Deon Jones, a federal prisoner proceeding pro se, appeals the district court’s dismissal of his Application for a Writ of Habeas Corpus Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (§ 2241 application). Mr. Jones also seeks leave to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP). Construing Mr. Jones’s pleadings liberally, see United States v. Pinson, 584 F.3d 972, 975 (10th Cir. 2009), and exercising jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, we affirm the district court’s dismissal of Mr. Jones’s § 2241 application and deny his request to proceed IFP.
