MELVIN AVON THOMAS,

                                           Petitioner - Appellant,

Melvin Avon Thomas, Appellant Pro Se.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

              Melvin Avon Thomas appeals the district court’s order

denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2000) petition.               We have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.           Accordingly, we

affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.            See Thomas v.

United States, No. CA-03-3039-1-CCB (D. Md. filed Nov. 3, 2003 &

entered Nov. 4, 2003).       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
