Appellees.

PER CURIAM:

     Carlos   Bienuenido     Cruz,   a   federal   prisoner,   appeals   the

district   court’s   order    accepting     the    recommendation   of   the

magistrate judge and denying relief on his petition under 28 U.S.C.

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

error.     Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the

district court.    See Cruz v. Dove, No. CA-01-2339-2-24-AJ (D.S.C.

filed Feb. 28, 2002, entered Mar. 4, 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
