PER CURIAM:

     Dwayne Orallis Smith appeals the district court’s order de-

nying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (1994) petition.      We have

reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no

reversible error.   Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the

district court.     See Smith v. United States, No. CA-99-749-5BR

(E.D.N.C. Jan. 28, 2000).   We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
