Ronald M. Smith, Appellant Pro Se. Barbara Murcier Bowens, OFFICE
OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Columbia, South Carolina, for
Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Ronald M. Smith, a federal prisoner, appeals the district
court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge
and denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2241
(2000). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See
Smith v. Gal, No. CA-01-3651-8-18BI (D.S.C. Sept. 25, 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
