Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Appellant appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (1994) petition. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss on the reasoning of the district court. Yocum v. United States, No. CA-97-830-5-BR (E.D.N.C. Nov. 4, 1997). Appellant’s “Motion to Dismiss by Case Law Order” is denied. We dispense with oral argu- ment because the facts and legal contentions are adequately pre- sented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
