PER CURIAM: Larry Blakney appeals the district court’s order dismissing for lack of exhaustion his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition challenging the propriety of his commitment to the custody of the Attorney General pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 4246. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Blakney v. Garland, No. 5:24-hc-02067-M (E.D.N.C. Apr. 12, 2024). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
