JOHN GREEN,

                                           Petitioner - Appellant,

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western
District of Virginia, at Roanoke.  Samuel G. Wilson, District
Judge. (CA-03-797-7)


Submitted:    December 9, 2004         Decided:     December 16, 2004


Before NIEMEYER, WILLIAMS, and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges.


Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


John Green, Appellant Pro Se. Julie C. Dudley, Assistant United
States Attorney, Roanoke, Virginia, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

           John Green, a federal prisoner, appeals the district

court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge

and 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 deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis, and we

dismiss for the reasons stated by the district court.   See Green v.

Compton, No. CA-03-797-7 (W.D. Va. filed June 22, 2004 & entered

June 23, 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.



                                                          DISMISSED
