trict of North Carolina, at Charlotte. Graham C. Mullen, Chief
District Judge. (CA-99-81-MU-3-1)


Submitted:   March 23, 2000                 Decided:   March 29, 2000


Before LUTTIG, WILLIAMS, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.


Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


Arthur Lee Tillman, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Arthur Lee Tillman 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 deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis and

dismiss on the reasoning of the district court.     See Tillman v.

United States, No. CA-99-81-MU-3-1 (W.D.N.C. June 22, 1999).    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.




                                                         DISMISSED
