Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Texas

USDC No. H-99-CV-1396

April 13, 2000

Before WIENER, DeMOSS, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:* Johan Frankz Lopez ("Lopez") appeals the district court's dismissal of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 habeas corpus petition challenging his final deportation order. Because Lopez is deportable as an aggravated felon, federal courts lack jurisdiction to review his arguments raised in a § 2241 petition. See 8 U.S.C. §§ 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii), 1252(a)(2)(C); see also Max- No. 99-20825 George v. Reno, No. 98-21090, 2000 WL 220502 at **3-4, 6-8 (5th Cir. Feb. 24, 2000). The district court's dismissal for lack of subject matter jurisdiction is AFFIRMED.

* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.
