Federal inmate Philip J. Simon appeals the district court’s 1 denial of his petition *710 for a writ of habeas corpus, filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. Upon de novo review, see Mitchell v. U.S. Parole Comm’n, 538 F.3d 948, 951 (8th Cir. 2008) (per curiam), we conclude that habeas relief was properly denied. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
