Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Michael   Black,   a   federal   prisoner,   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 for the reasons stated by the

district court.    See Black v. Beeler, No. CA-03-195-5-HO (E.D.N.C.

July 7, 2003).    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
