UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 07-6623 RICHARD EDWARD BRILLHART, Petitioner - Appellant, versus TRACY W. JOHNS, Respondent - Appellee. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at Raleigh. Louise W. Flanagan, Chief District Judge. (5:07-hc-02055-FL) Submitted: September 13, 2007 Decided: September 18, 2007 Before GREGORY and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges, and WILKINS, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Richard Edward Brillhart, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Richard Edward Brillhart, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court’s orders denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2000) petition and subsequent Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion for reconsideration. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See Brillhart v. Stansberry, No. 5:07-hc- 02055-FL (E.D.N.C. April 16, 2007 & April 20, 2007). We deny Brillhart’s motion to file a formal brief. 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 - 2 -
