PER CURIAM:

           Antonio Germaine Johnson, a federal prisoner, appeals

the district court’s order accepting the recommendation of the

magistrate    judge    and    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.          Johnson v. Pettiford, No. 0:07-cv-03236-CWH

(D.S.C. filed Dec. 12, 2008, and entered Dec. 15, 2008).                                 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
