Ronald S. Snipe, Appellant Pro Se. Helen Campbell Altmeyer, Assistant United States Attorney, Daniel W. Dickinson, Jr., OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Wheeling, West Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM: Ronald S. Snipe, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court’s order accepting in part and rejecting in part the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2006) petition. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Snipe v. Phillips, No. 3:08-cv-00022-JPB-JSK (N.D.W. Va. Dec. 23, 2008). 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
