See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Marvin Lewis Carter, a federal prisoner, appeals the district

court’s order denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.

§ 2241 (2000).    We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

error.   Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district

court. See Carter v. United States, No. CA-03-500-5-HC-H (E.D.N.C.

Aug. 19, 2003).    We dispense with oral argument because the facts

and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials

before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.




                                                           AFFIRMED
