David L. Carter, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     David L. Carter, a federal prisoner, appeals the district

court’s order adopting the recommendation of the magistrate judge

and dismissing without prejudice 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. Evans, No. CA-02-423-1 (M.D.N.C. June 28,

2002).   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
