UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 08-2217

In Re: GARY B. WILLIAMS,

Petitioner.

On Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus.

Submitted: January 13, 2009 Decided: January 15, 2009

Before WILLIAMS, Chief Judge, and TRAXLER and KING, Circuit Judges.

Petition dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Gary B. Williams, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Gary B. Williams, a federal pretrial detainee, filed a

petition for a writ of habeas corpus with this court pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 2241

(2000). In the petition, Williams alleges that

he was illegally arrested and is being unlawfully detained, he

is being denied access to the courts, and his right to a speedy

trial has been violated. He seeks immediate release from

custody and other relief. Upon review, we conclude that

Williams is not entitled to the relief sought. Moreover,

Williams may assert his claims in pretrial proceedings in his

pending criminal case. See United States v. Williams, No. 4:08-

cr-00087-RGD-FBS-1 (E.D. Va.). Accordingly, we dismiss

Williams’ petition. 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.

DISMISSED
