Before WOLLMAN, SMITH, and GRUENDER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

       Federal prisoner James VanDolah appeals the district court’s1 order dismissing
his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition. Following de novo review, see Hill v. Morrison, 349
F.3d 1089, 1091 (8th Cir. 2003), we conclude that the district court’s decision was
proper, and we decline to consider VanDolah’s newly raised constitutional claims, see


      1
       The Honorable Susan Webber Wright, United States District Judge for the
Eastern District of Arkansas, adopting the report and recommendations of the
Honorable Beth Deere, United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of
Arkansas.
Int’l Bhd. of Elec. Workers, Local Union No. 545 v. Hope Elec. Corp., 380 F.3d 1084,
1096 (8th Cir. 2004). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
