See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: Timothy B. Whitmore appeals the district court’s order granting Defendant’s motion to dismiss his petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (1994). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Whitmore v. United States, No. CA-98-101-2 (E.D. Va. Jan. 29, 1999). We dis- pense 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
