Ricardo Brown, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Ricardo   Brown,   a   federal   prisoner,   appeals   the   district

court’s order 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 deny Brown’s motions for a writ of habeas

corpus and oral argument, and affirm the dismissal of his petition

for the reasons stated by the district court.      See Brown v. Beeler,

No. CA-02-HC-545-5-H (E.D.N.C., filed Sept. 11, 2002; entered

Sept. 12, 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
