PER CURIAM:
Douglas Ross appeals the district court's order denying relief
on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (1994) petition. We have reviewed the rec-
ord and the district court's opinion and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Ross
v. Thompson, No. CA-96-48-1 (N.D.W. Va. May 1, 1996).* 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
*
In light of this disposition, Appellant's motions to
expedite and for bail pending appeal are denied as moot.
