Juan Tapanes, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Juan Tapanes appeals the district court’s order denying 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.   Tapanes v. Beeler, No. CA-01-929-5-BO (E.D.N.C. Dec. 7,

2001).   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
