Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at
Raleigh. James C. Fox, Senior District Judge. (5:12-hc-02211-F)


Submitted: January 14, 2019                                       Decided: January 17, 2019


Before WILKINSON and DIAZ, Circuit Judges, and SHEDD, Senior Circuit Judge.


Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


Jermaine Donnell Kornegay, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

       Jermaine Donnell Kornegay appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his

28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2012) petition. The district court held, consistent with then-existing

precedent, that Kornegay could not challenge his sentence in a 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition.

We have recently concluded, however, that a § 2241 petition may be used to challenge a

sentence under certain circumstances. United States v. Wheeler, 886 F.3d 415, 429 (4th

Cir. 2018) (establishing 4-factor test), petition for cert. filed, 87 U.S.L.W. 3152 (U.S.

Oct. 3, 2018) (No. 18-420). And more recently, we extended the holding in Wheeler to

allow a challenge to a career offender sentence, imposed under the mandatory sentencing

Guidelines. Lester v. Flournoy, 909 F.3d 708, 716 (4th Cir. 2018). Because Kornegay

fails to meet the test we established in Wheeler, however, we affirm. *

       In Lester, we noted that United States v. Foote, 784 F.3d 931 (4th Cir. 2015),

“undoubtedly would bar Lester’s petition had he been sentenced under the advisory

Guidelines.” 909 F.3d at 715. That is because Foote bars a challenge to a trial court’s

misapplication of the advisory Guidelines under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2012). Id. Although

the district court sentenced Kornegay in the pre-Booker era (United States v. Booker, 543

U.S. 220 (2005)), it imposed the same 209-month sentence as an alternative sentence

considering the Guidelines as advisory, as suggested by this Court’s decision in United

States v. Hammoud, 381 F.3d 316, 353-54 (4th Cir. 2004), vacated, 543 U.S. 1097

       *
          Although Kornegay has completed his term of incarceration, his case is not
moot, as he remains on supervised release. United States v. Ketter, 908 F.3d 61, 65-66
(4th Cir. 2018).


                                             2
(2005). Thus, Kornegay was sentenced under the advisory Guidelines and Foote bars his

petition.

       Accordingly, we affirm. We grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis and grant

Kornegay’s motion to file supplemental pleadings. We deny his motion for appointment

of counsel. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are

adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.

                                                                          AFFIRMED
