    Victor C. FOURSTAR, JR., Petitioner-Appellant, v. Ricardo MARTINEZ, Respondent-Appellee.
    No. 13-30510
    Summary Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    Oct. 15, 2013.
    Victor C. Fourstar, Jr., Tucson, AZ, pro se.
    
      Before JOLLY, SMITH, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Victor Fourstar, Jr., federal prisoner # 07418-046, appeals the dismissal for lack of jurisdiction of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition, in which he challenged (1) the validity of his 2002 conviction of, and 188-month sentence for, aggravated sexual abuse in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2241(a) and (2) the use of an underlying state-court conviction to enhance that sentence. We review de novo the district court’s determinations that Fourstar’s claims arose under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 and that he had not met the requirements to proceed with a § 2241 petition under the savings clause of § 2255(e). Padilla v. United States, 416 F.3d 424, 425 (5th Cir.2005).

If his brief is liberally construed, Fours-tar appears to argue, for the first time, that his § 2241 petition falls within the savings clause based on Bailey v. United States, 516 U.S. 137, 116 S.Ct. 501, 133 L.Ed.2d 472 (1995). Because the argument is raised for the first time on appeal, we will not consider it. See Wilson v. Roy, 643 F.3d 433, 435 n. 1 (5th Cir.2011). Even if we were to consider the newly raised argument, Fourstar cannot rely on Bailey to satisfy the savings clause because Bailey involved a firearms offense, not a sexual abuse offense, and was decided in 1995, well before Fourstar’s 2002 conviction. Thus, Fourstar has failed to meet the actual-innocence and retroactivity requirements of the savings clause. See Bailey, 516 U.S. at 143, 116 S.Ct. 501; see also Reyes-Requena v. United States, 243 F.3d 893, 900-01, 903-04 (5th Cir.2001).

The instant appeal is without arguable merit and is therefore frivolous. See Howard v. King, 707 F.2d 215, 219-20 (5th Cir.1983). Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2. Additionally, because Fourstar’s § 2241 petition is repetitive of earlier filings, he is cautioned that the filing of future frivolous, repetitive, or otherwise abusive challenges to his conviction or sentence will invite the imposition of sanctions, including dismissal, monetary sanctions, and restrictions on his ability to file pleadings in this court or any court subject to this court’s jurisdiction. 
      
       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.
