Petitioner is a federal prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241.
Writ of habeas corpus relief extends to a person in custody under the authority of the
United States. See 28 U.S.C. § 2241. While a federal prisoner who wishes to challenge the
validity or constitutionality of his conviction must bring a petition for writ of habeas corpus
under 28 U.S.C. § 2255, a petitioner challenging the manner, location, or conditions of that
sentence's execution must bring a petition for writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241.
See, e.g., Capaldi v. Pontesso, 135 F.3d 1122, 1123 (6 Cir. 1998); United States v. Tubwell, 37
th
F.3d 175, 177 (5th Cir. 1994); Kingsley v. Bureau of Prisons, 937 F.2d 26, 30 n.5 (2 Cir. 1991);
