Joseph J. Schepis, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Barbara Murcier Bowens, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Joseph J. Schepis, Jr., a federal prisoner, appeals the

district court’s order denying relief on his petition filed under

(2000). We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by

the district court. See Schepis v. Maldonado, No. CA-03-3463-0-

17BD (D.S.C. filed Sept. 28, 2004; entered Sept. 29, 2004). 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
