White v. Stephens

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 10-6244 WALTER DUANE WHITE, Petitioner – Appellant, v. D. R. STEPHENS, Respondent – Appellee. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at Raleigh. James C. Dever III, District Judge. (5:10-hc-02010-D) Submitted: September 20, 2010 Decided: October 5, 2010 Before NIEMEYER and MOTZ, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Walter Duane White, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Walter Duane White, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court’s order dismissing without prejudice his 28 U.S.C.A. § 2241 (West 2006 & Supp. 2010) petition for failure to exhaust administrative remedies and the court’s order denying reconsideration. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error in the court’s conclusion that White failed to exhaust administrative remedies before filing his § 2241 petition and failed to demonstrate that exhaustion was futile. Accordingly, we affirm. See White v. Stephens, No. 5:10-hc- 02010-D (E.D.N.C. Feb. 8, 2010 & Feb. 16, 2010). 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
