PER CURIAM:

     John Johnson appeals the district court’s orders denying re-

lief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (1994) petition and denying his motion

for reconsideration.   We have reviewed the record and the district

court’s orders and find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we af-

firm on the reasoning of the district court.    Johnson v. Brooks,

No. CA-00-777 (E.D. Va. Nov. 22 & Dec. 22, 2000).   We grant leave

to proceed in forma pauperis and 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.
