Falaniko Uti, Appellant Pro Se. Christina Ann Thompson, BUREAU OF PRISONS, Butner, North Carolina, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Falaniko Uti, 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, we affirm for the reasons stated by the

district court. Uti v. Johns, No. 5:08-hc-02017-H (E.D.N.C.

July 27, 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
