PER CURIAM:
Kentral Smith appeals the district court’s order
denying his motion challenging the location of his detention.
We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district
court. United States v. Smith, No. 6:08-cr-00237-GRA-1 (D.S.C.
filed Mar. 11, 2009; entered Mar. 12, 2009).* We further deny
the motions for transcript at government expense. We dispense
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.
AFFIRMED
* To the extent Smith seeks to appeal the district court’s
order entered on September 25, 2008, denying relief on a similar
motion, we dismiss the appeal as untimely filed. The district
court granted Smith’s motion for extension of time to file a
notice of appeal of that order, directing him to file the
notice of appeal by January 10, 2009. Smith, however, did not
file his notice of appeal until April 27, 2009.
