Raphael Mendez, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

          Raphael    Mendez   appeals    a   district   court   order   and

judgment denying his petition for writ of habeas corpus filed under

28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2000).       We have reviewed the record and the

district court’s order and affirm for the reasons stated by the

district court.     See Mendez v. United States, CA-04-90 (E.D.N.C.

Jan. 4, 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.
