FOR APPELLANT:                   YURI YUSOV, pro se, New York, New York.

FOR APPELLEE:                    PATRICIA BUCHANAN, Assistant United States Attorney
                                 (Sue Chen, Special Assistant United States Attorney and
                                 Benjamin H. Torrance, Assistant United States Attorney, on
                                 the brief), for Preet Bharara, United States Attorney for the
                                 Southern District of New York, New York, New York.

         Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York

(Leonard B. Sand, Judge).
       UPON DUE CONSIDERATION, it is hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND

DECREED that the district court judgment is AFFIRMED.

       Petitioner-Appellant Yuri Yusov, pro se, appeals from the November 20, 2009 judgment of

the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Sand, J.) denying his 28

U.S.C. § 2241 petition. We assume the parties’ familiarity with the underlying facts and the

procedural history of the case.

       This Court reviews the denial of a § 2241 petition de novo. See Armstrong v. Guccione, 470

F.3d 89, 96 (2d Cir. 2006). Having reviewed the appellant’s contentions on appeal and the record

of proceedings below, we affirm for substantially the same reasons stated by the district court in its

thorough opinion.

       We note, however, that while the appellant’s broad-based attack on the conditions of his

release is without merit, our rejection of that attack does not represent an endorsement of the

reasonableness of any particular condition. As the government pointed out at oral argument, the

appellant remains free to request changes in those conditions from the agency, and to pursue

administrative appeals of the denial of any such requests. The dismissal of the present action is

without prejudice to any avenue of judicial review that may be available to the appellant to challenge

any final decision of the agency rejecting such specific requests.

       Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.

                                                      FOR THE COURT:
                                                      Catherine O’Hagan Wolfe, Clerk
