PER CURIAM:

             George    D.   Gates   appeals     the    district    court’s       order

accepting     the     recommendation      of     the   magistrate        judge     and

dismissing    Gates’     28    U.S.C.   § 2241    (2000)    petition,      and    its

orders   denying      Gates’   motions    for    reconsideration.          We    have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.                    Accordingly,

we affirm for the reasons state by the district court.                     Gates v.

Stansberry,    No.    1:07-cv-01212-LO-TCB        (E.D.    Va.     May    23,    2008;

filed June 17, 2008; entered June 19, 2008; filed June 30, 2008;

entered July 1, 2008).           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
