Amro Sabry Elhilaly appeals the district court’s order dismissing his petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2000). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error, but modify the district court’s judgment to reflect that the dismissal of the petition is without prejudice.

Accordingly, we affirm as modified on the reasoning of the district court. See Elhilaly v. Ashcroft, No. CA-01-4148PJM (D. Md. June 6, 2002). We grant Elhilaly’s application to proceed on appeal in forma pauperis and 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 AS MODIFIED.
