PER CURIAM:

           Ronald    S.    Snipe,   a   federal   prisoner,       appeals    the

district court’s order accepting in part and rejecting in part

the recommendation of the magistrate judge and 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.                Snipe v. Phillips,

No.   3:08-cv-00022-JPB-JSK     (N.D.W.     Va.   Dec.    23,     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
