Before MURPHY, COLLOTON, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.
                          ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Ramon Guel, Jr., appeals the district court’s1 denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241
petition. We conclude the denial was proper for the reasons explained by the district
court. See United States v. Lurie, 207 F.3d 1075, 1076 (8th Cir. 2000) (standard of
review). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment, and deny as moot
Guel’s motion for a ruling. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                       ______________________________



      1
        The Honorable Lawrence L. Piersol, United States District Judge for the
District of South Dakota.
