Sh’dell Nicholas, Appellant Pro Se. Morgan Eugene Scott, Acting
United States Attorney, Roanoke, Virginia, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

           Sh’dell   Nicholas,    a   federal   prisoner,   appeals   the

district court’s order denying relief on his petition filed under

28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2000).     We have reviewed the record and find no

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

district court.    See United States v. Nicholas, CA-04-526-7 (W.D.

Va. filed Sept. 9, 2004; entered Sept. 13, 2004).       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
