PER CURIAM:

     Gerald Raymond Scott appeals the district court’s order de-

nying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (1994) petition.       We have

reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no

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

district court.     See Scott v. Lower Sec. Correctional Inst., Nos.

CA-98-622-5-HC-BO; CR-93-101 (E.D.N.C. Sept. 15, 1998).     We dis-

pense 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
