Federal inmate Muhammad Jalal-Deem Akbar appeals the district court’s 1 dismissal of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Upon careful review, we conclude that Akbar was not entitled to habeas relief for the reasons *628 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 Akbar’s motion for release and motion to expedite.
