(CA-02-2532-AW)

Anthony Jean, Appellant Pro Se. Thomas Michael DiBiagio, United
States Attorney, George W. Maugans, Special Assistant United States
Attorney, Baltimore, Maryland; Linda Susan Wendtland, Patrick Shen,
UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Washington, D.C., for
Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Anthony Jean appeals the district court’s order denying relief

on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2000).        We have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we

affirm on the reasoning of the district court.          See Jean v.

Ashcroft, No. CA-02-2532-AW (D. Md. Sept. 26, 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




     *
       We decline to address issues raised for the first time on
appeal. See Muth v. United States, 1 F.3d 246, 250 (4th Cir. 1993).
