PER CURIAM:

          Lawrence Edward Williams, 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 on the reasoning of the

district court. See Williams v. Maldonado, No. CA-03-603 (E.D. Va.

May 26, 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
