PER CURIAM:

               Falaniko Uti, a federal prisoner, appeals the district

court’s order denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2006)

petition.       We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

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

district court.         Uti v. Johns, No. 5:08-hc-02017-H (E.D.N.C.

July 27, 2009).          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
