PER CURIAM:

     Patrick Edwin Rudd appeals the district court’s orders   deny-

ing relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (1994) petition and his motion

for reconsideration.   We have reviewed the record and the district

court’s orders and find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we af-

firm on the reasoning of the district court. Rudd v. United States,

No. CA-00-618-5-BO (E.D.N.C. Sept. 20 & Oct. 6, 2000). 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
