United States Attorney, Roanoke, Virginia, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

           Walter L. King, 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 King v. Compton, No. CA-03-193-7 (W.D. Va. Feb. 19,

2004). We deny King’s motion for appointment of appellate counsel.

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
