Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals the district court's order dismissing with-
out prejudice his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (1994) petition. We have re-
viewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the
district court. Griffin v. United States, No. CA-96-650 (E.D. Va.
Oct. 7, 1996). We deny Appellant's motions for a certificate of
probable cause, appointment of counsel, and release on bond pending
appeal. 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
