PER CURIAM:
James Robert Rice appeals the district court’s order denying
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 Rice v. Dove, No. CA-01-507-9-23 (D.S.C. Jan. 17, 2002);
see also San-Miguel v. Dove, 291 F.3d 257 (4th Cir. 2002). 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
