David E. Cooper, Appellant Pro Se.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     David E. Cooper appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (1994) petition.   We have reviewed

the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible

error.   Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district

court.   See Cooper v. Dodrill, No. CA-00-426-5-HC (E.D.N.C. June

26, 2000).    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
