Appellee.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     James Bernard Lowery appeals the district court’s order deny-

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

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

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

district court.   See United States v. Lowery, Nos. CR-93-37-P; CA-

99-73-P (W.D.N.C. Mar. 5, 1999).       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
