David L. Carter, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

            David L. Carter appeals district court orders denying his

motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2000) and denying his motion

for a certificate of appealability.           We have reviewed the record

and the district court orders and affirm on the reasoning of the

district    court.   See   Carter    v.     Evans,   No.   CA-02-492-5-HC-BO

(E.D.N.C. July 22, 2002 & filed Aug. 1, 2003; entered Aug. 5,

2003).     We grant Carter’s motion to proceed on appeal in forma

pauperis.     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
