PER CURIAM:

      Leroy Porter, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court’s

order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and

denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2000).

We   have   reviewed   the    record   and   find    no    reversible     error.

Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See

Porter v. United States, No. CA-02-4191-6-10 (D.S.C. May 30, 2003).

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
