Federal inmate Albert Johnson appeals the district court’s 1 denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Upon careful review, we conclude that Johnson is not entitled to habeas relief for the reasons relied upon by the district court. See Mitchell v. U.S. Parole Comm’n, 538 F.3d 948, 951 (8th Cir. 2008) (per curiam) (standard of review). Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We also deny Johnson’s motion for appointment of counsel.
