PER CURIAM.

       Philip L. Burgess appeals the district court’s1 order denying his 28 U.S.C.
§ 2241 petition, wherein he challenged the failure of the United States Parole
Commission to convert his foreign sentence to a sentence for an analogous United
States offense pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 4106A, following his transfer to the United
States to serve a sentence imposed in Mexico. Having conducted careful de novo
review, see Hutchings v. U. S. Parole Comm’n, 201 F.3d 1006, 1008-09 (8th Cir.

explained by the court.2 See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

      We decline to consider Burgess’s arguments raised for the first time on appeal,
which are based on allegations not made in the district court. See Naucke v. City of
Park Hills, 284 F.3d 923, 927 n.2 (8th Cir. 2002).
