See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Carl Headley Chambers 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 Chambers v. Brooks, No. CA-01-1389-AM (E.D.
Va. filed Oct. 11, 2001; entered Oct. 12, 2001); see also United
States v. Kinter, 235 F.3d 192, 201-02 (4th Cir. 2000) (holding
that Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466 (2000), does not apply to
a judge’s exercise of discretion within a statutory range so long
as a defendant’s sentence is not set beyond the maximum term
specified in the substantive statute), cert. denied, 532 U.S. 937
(2001). We also deny Chambers’ motion for a certificate of appeal-
ability. 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.
AFFIRMED
