DeVaughn, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: Michael O. DeVaughn seeks to appeal the district court’s order construing his petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (1994), as a motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2001), and dis- missing his action without prejudice. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. DeVaughn v. Dove, No. CA-00-3546-4-17BF (D.S.C. June 27, 2001). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate- ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. DISMISSED 2
