      Appeal from the United States District Court for the
                Western District of Texas, El Paso
                         USDC No. 00-CV-61

                           July 23, 2001
Before JOLLY, SMITH, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Ronald    Barrick   appeals    the     district    court’s   order   (1)

construing Barrick’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28

U.S.C. § 2241 as a motion to correct the sentence under 28 U.S.C.

§ 2255; and (2) dismissing the motion for lack of jurisdiction.

     Williamson’s motion to dismiss for mootness is DENIED for the

reasons stated in Port v. Heard, 764 F.2d 423, 427 (5th Cir. 1985).


     *
      Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that
this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except
under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.
     Having reviewed Barrick’s brief, the record on appeal, and the

relevant authorities, we are convinced that the district court

committed no error.   See Pack v. Yusuff, 218 F.3d 448, 451-54 (5th

Cir. 2000).   The district court’s order is therefore

                                                 A F F I R M E D .
