Brett C. Kimberlin 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 accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Kimberlin v. Dewalt, No. CA-99-1547-2 (E.D.Va. July 12, 2000). * In addition, we decline to consider the claims Kimberlin raises for the first time on appeal. See Muth v. United States, 1 F.3d 246, 250 (4th Cir. 1993) (holding that issues raised for first time on appeal generally will not *235 be considered absent exceptional circumstances of plain error or fundamental miscarriage of justice). 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.
