Andres Martinez, Appellant Pro Se. Rebeca Hidalgo Bellows, Assis- tant United States Attorney, Alexandria, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Andres Martinez appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for an extension of time in which to file a motion pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (1994). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error. According- ly, we affirm substantially on the reasoning of the district court.

See United States v. Martinez, No. CR-96-251-A (E.D. Va. Apr. 19, 1999). We note for Martinez’s benefit, however, that a motion to extend is not necessary in this case because there is no time limit for filing a motion under § 2241. 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
