PER CURIAM.
Federal inmate William Hawkins appeals the district court’s1 dismissal without

conclude dismissal was proper, see Lopez-Lopez v. Sanders, 590 F.3d 905, 907 (8th

District of Arkansas, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable Joe
Volpe, United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas.
do so through 28 U.S.C. § 2255); Langella v. Anderson, 612 F.3d 938, 940-41 (8th
Cir. 2010) (decision whether to grant or deny parole is one Congress has committed
to agency discretion and court has limited jurisdiction to review agency decisions).
Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
