PER CURIAM:

            Daniel Mellinger appeals a district court order granting

Respondents’ motion for summary judgment on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241

(2000) petition.     We have reviewed the record and the district

court’s order, and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we grant

leave to proceed in forma pauperis and affirm on the reasoning of

the district court. See Mellinger v. Bauknecht, No. 0:06-cv-03441-

RBH (D.S.C. Nov. 29, 2007). 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
