Keith Maydak, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant appeals the district court's order dismissing his 28

U.S.C. § 2241 (1994) petition as frivolous. We have reviewed the

record and the district court's opinion accepting the recommenda-

tion of the magistrate judge and find no reversible error. Accord-

ingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Maydak v.
Olsen, No. CA-97-306-5 (S.D.W. Va. July 9, 1997). We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-

ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.
