Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of North Carolina, at Raleigh.  James C. Dever III,
Magistrate Judge. (CA-05-445)


Submitted: May 16, 2006                          Decided: May 19, 2006


Before WILLIAMS, MOTZ, and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges.


Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


Fred Powell, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

            Fred Powell, 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 grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis

and affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.         See

Powell v. Stansberry, No. CA-05-445 (E.D.N.C. Sept. 14, 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
