PER CURIAM:
Gordon Sexton appeals a district court order denying relief on
his petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (1994). In light of our
recent decision in Pelissero v. Thompson and Hayes v. Federal
Bureau of Prisons, ___ F.3d ___, 1998 WL 559663 (4th Cir. Sept. 3,
1998) (No. 97-6156, 97-6221), we affirm the district court order.
We deny Sexton’s motions for sanctions and for appointment of coun-
sel but grant his motion to present newly discovered case law. 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
