Mark Pitt, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Mark Pitt, a federal prisoner, seeks to appeal the
district court’s orders denying relief on his petition filed under
28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2000) and two subsequent motions to alter or
amend the judgment. We have reviewed the record and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, while we grant Pitt’s motion to
file a formal brief, we affirm on the ground that Pitt’s petition
is properly characterized as an unauthorized successive 28 U.S.C.
§ 2255 (2000) motion. 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
