Cecil Jackson, Appellant Pro Se. Laura Marie Everhart, Assistant
United States Attorney, Norfolk, Virginia, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Cecil Edward Jackson, a federal prisoner, appeals the district

court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge

and 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

Jackson v. Brooks, No. CA-02-68-2 (E.D. Va. Nov. 20, 2002).     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
