Hilario Mateo Salas, Appellant Pro Se.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

           Hilario Mateo Salas, a federal prisoner, appeals the

district court’s order denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241

(2000)   petition.      We    have   reviewed   the   record   and   find    no

reversible error.      Accordingly, we grant leave to proceed in forma

pauperis and affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.

Salas v. Stansberry, No. 5:04-hc-00979-H (E.D.N.C. Feb. 16, 2004).

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
