George Anthony Dempsey, Appellant Pro Se. Barbara Murcier Bowens,
OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Columbia, South Carolina, for
Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

          George Anthony Dempsey, a federal prisoner, appeals the

district court’s order 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 for the reasons stated by

the district court.   See Dempsey v. Smith, No. CA-03-2890 (D.S.C.

Sept. 28, 2004).   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
