Assistant United States Attorney, Raleigh, North Carolina, for
Appellee.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Alvin L. McCarver, III, appeals the district court’s order

denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (1994) petition.    We have

reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion accepting the

recommendation of the magistrate judge and find no reversible

error.   Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district

court.   See McCarver v. Chandler, No. CA-99-391-5-BR (E.D.N.C.

Sept. 27, 1999).   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
