See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Raymond Jerome Francis, a federal prisoner, appeals the
district court’s order 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 Francis v. Brooks, No. CA-03-412 (E.D. Va.
filed Dec. 5, 2003 & entered Dec. 8, 2003); see also San-Miguel v.
Dove, 291 F.3d 257 (4th Cir.) (holding that rule announced in
Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466 (2000), does not apply
retroactively to cases on collateral review regardless of whether
action is filed under § 2241 or 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000)), cert.
denied, 537 U.S. 938 (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
