PER CURIAM:

     Earl T. Marshall, III, appeals from a district court order

denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (1994).

In light of our recent decision in Pelissero v. Thompson, 155 F.3d

470 (4th Cir. 1998), we affirm the district court’s denial of

relief. 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
