PER CURIAM:

     Melvin Williams, 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 Williams v. United States Parole Comm’n, No. CA-03-278-

MJG (D. Md. entered Apr. 22, 2003; filed Apr. 25, 2003).        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
