Before BYE, BOWMAN, and BENTON, Circuit Judges.
                           ___________

PER CURIAM.

      Joseph Peluso appeals the district court’s1 order dismissing his 28 U.S.C.
§ 2241 petition. Upon careful review of the record, we conclude dismissal was proper
because Peluso’s attacks on the validity of his sentence are properly brought pursuant
to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 in the court which imposed his sentence. See Matheny v.



      1
        The Honorable Brian S. Miller, United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Arkansas, adopting the recommendation of The Honorable Henry L. Jones,
Jr., United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas.
Morrison, 307 F.3d 709, 711 (8th Cir. 2002); § 2255(a). Accordingly, we affirm. See
8th Cir. R. 47B.
