Ronald Nelson, Appellant Pro Se.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

      Ronald Nelson appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (1994) petition.         We have reviewed

the   record   and   the   district   court’s   opinion      accepting    the

recommendation of the magistrate judge and find no reversible

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

court. See Nelson v. Gal, No. CA-01-4588-2-22-AJ (D.S.C. filed Jan.

30, entered Jan. 31, 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
