See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

            Michael Rochelle Lucas, a federal prisoner,         appeals the

district court’s order denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241

(2000)   petition.    We   have    reviewed    the    record   and   find    no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by

the district court.        United States v. Lucas, No. CA-05-293-5

(E.D.N.C. Nov. 3, 2005).      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
