PER CURIAM:

     Lewis Banks 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 Banks v. Gal, No. CA-01-2543-23BD (D.S.C. filed May 2,

2002, entered May 3, 2002). 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
