trict of West Virginia, at Clarksburg. Irene M. Keeley, District

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


Norman Lee Grooms, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Norman Grooms appeals the district court’s order denying re-

lief 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 Grooms v. Bledsoe, No. CA-99-135-1 (N.D.W. Va. July 21,

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
