PER CURIAM:

Timothy B. Whitmore appeals the district court’s order

granting Defendant’s motion to dismiss his petition filed under 28

U.S.C. § 2241 (1994). We have reviewed the record and the district

court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we

affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Whitmore v.

United States, No. CA-98-101-2 (E.D. Va. Jan. 29, 1999). We dis-

pense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions

are adequately presented in the materials before the court and

argument would not aid the decisional process.
