UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 02-6868

WILLIE OUTLER,

Petitioner - Appellant,

versus

STEVEN J. GAL, Warden, Federal Correctional Institution Estill,

Respondent - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Florence. Patrick Michael Duffy, District Judge. (CA-01-4222-4-23)

Submitted: October 24, 2002 Decided: October 30, 2002

Before WIDENER, MICHAEL, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Willie Outler, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

Willie Outler appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his

(2000) petition. We have reviewed

the record and the district court’s opinion accepting the

recommendation of the magistrate judge and find no error. We

therefore affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See

Outler v. Gal, No. CA-01-4222-4-23 (D.S.C. filed May 9, 2002;

entered May 13, 2002). 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
