PER CURIAM:

            Ellis    Eric    Evans,   a       federal   prisoner,   appeals       the

district court’s order denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241

(2006)   petition.      We     have   reviewed      the    record   and    find    no

reversible    error.        Accordingly,        although   we   grant     leave    to

proceed in forma pauperis, we affirm for the reasons stated by

the district court.          See Evans v. Rivera, No. 0:09-cv-01153-JFA

(D.S.C. July 23, 2009).          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
