USCA4 Appeal: 24-6655 Doc: 9 Filed: 01/28/2025 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM: Gregory Anthony Waters, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying relief on Water’s 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition in which Waters challenged the execution of his sentence. The district court found that Waters failed to exhaust his administrative remedies for the claim Waters raises on appeal and that Waters failed to demonstrate that exhaustion would have been futile. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Waters v. Ray, No. 5:23-cv-00330-JPB (N.D. W. Va., June 18, 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
