Before WILKINS and KING, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior
Circuit Judge.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Michael Edward Mills, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Michael Edward Mills appeals the district court’s order
construing his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (1994) petition as a 28 U.S.C.A.
§ 2255 (West Supp. 2001) motion and dismissing it as successive.
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 Mills v. Brooks, No. CA-01-461 (E.D.
Va. Aug. 23, 2001). We dispense with oral argument because the
facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-
rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
AFFIRMED
