Lloyd Anthonie Williams, Appellant Pro Se. Jerry Wayne Miller,
United States Attorney, Asheville, North Carolina, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Lloyd Anthonie Williams appeals the district court’s order

denying relief 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 United States v. Williams, No. CR-98-144

(W.D.N.C. Mar. 12, 2002).     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
