Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Nicholas James Queen, Appellant Pro Se. Lynne Ann Battaglia,
United States Attorney, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Nicholas James Queen appeals the district court’s order deny-
ing his Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b)(4) motion requesting immediate re-
lease from federal incarceration. Because the claims raised in the
motion do not fall within the parameters of Rule 60(b), we affirm.
To the extent that Queen challenges federal authorities’ power to
take custody of him after his release from state custody, that
claim should be raised in a 28 U.S.C.A. § 2241 (West Supp. 1999)
motion brought in the district of confinement. To the extent that
Queen objects to the district court’s letter to the Bureau of
Prisons clarifying that the court’s intent was that Queen’s federal
sentence run concurrently with his state sentence, we note that the
letter did not amend or modify Queen’s original sentence. 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
