Israel Hidalgo, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

      Israel Hidalgo, a federal prisoner, appeals the district

court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge

and dismissing 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 Hidalgo

v.   United   States,   No.   CA-02-2242   (D.S.C.   Nov.   21,   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
