PER CURIAM:

           Jerry Wayne Sheppard, a federal prisoner, appeals the

district court’s order denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241

(2006)   petition.      We   have     reviewed   the   record   and   find   no

reversible error.      Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated

by the district court.         Sheppard v. United States, No. 5:08-hc-

02035-FL   (E.D.N.C.    Nov.    17,    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
