Charles Anton McKain, Appellant Pro Se.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Charles Anton McKain appeals the district court’s order dis-

missing without prejudice his petition for a writ of habeas corpus

filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (1994).   We have reviewed the record

and the district court’s memorandum and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See

McKain v. Brooks, No. CA-01-75 (E.D. Va. Mar. 8, 2001).   We grant

McKain leave to proceed in forma pauperis.   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
