United States Ninth Circuit

In a 28 U.S.C. section 2241 petition for writ of habeas corpus relief, the district court's denial of the petition is affirmed over petitioner's claims that asserted that a congressional appropriations rider prohibits the Bureau of Prisons from using federal funds to incarcerate him for conduct he contends complied with California's medical marijuana laws, where this challenge is precluded by the collateral-attack waiver provision of petitioner's plea agreement.
