ELLIS ERIC EVANS,

Petitioner - Appellant,

v.

M.L. RIVERA,

Respondent - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Rock Hill. Joseph F. Anderson, Jr., District Judge. (0:09-cv-01153-JFA)

Submitted: November 19, 2009 Decided: December 3, 2009

Before MOTZ, GREGORY, and SHEDD, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Ellis Eric Evans, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Ellis Eric Evans, a federal prisoner, appeals the

district court’s order denying relief on his

(2006) petition. We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, although we grant leave to

proceed in forma pauperis, we affirm for the reasons stated by

the district court. See Evans v. Rivera, No. 0:09-cv-01153-JFA

(D.S.C. July 23, 2009). 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
