Williams v. Pettiford

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 08-8089 WILLIAM EARL WILLIAMS, Petitioner - Appellant, v. M. PETTIFORD, Warden FCI Med-Hi & Camp Bennettsville Complex, Respondent - Appellee. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Florence. Henry F. Floyd, District Judge. (4:08-cv-00641-HFF) Submitted: February 26, 2009 Decided: March 6, 2009 Before NIEMEYER, MICHAEL, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. William Earl Williams, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: William Earl Williams, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2006) petition. We have reviewed the record and agree with the district court’s conclusion that Williams cannot show that 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2008) is inadequate or ineffective to test the legality of his detention. Accordingly, we affirm. 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
