Submitted: July 21, 2004 Decided: August 19, 2004
Before WILLIAMS, KING, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Roderick Emmanuel Steadman, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Roderick Emmanuel Steadman appeals the district court’s
order denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2000) petition. We
have reviewed the record and find that Steadman’s claim for relief
under § 2241 is unavailing because he does not meet the test for
proceeding under this statute as set forth in In re Jones, 226 F.3d
328, 333-34 (4th Cir. 2000). Accordingly, we affirm the district
court’s denial of relief on this alternate ground. We dispense
with oral argument because the facts and legal issues are
adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument
would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
