PER CURIAM:
John Luhon I appeals from the district court’s order
dismissing without prejudice his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (1994) petition.
We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and
find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny I’s motion for
leave to proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss the appeal on the
reasoning of the district court. See I v. Ashcroft, No. CA-02-7
(E.D. Va. filed Jan. 14, 2002; entered Jan. 15, 2002). We have
previously granted I’s motion to amend the caption to reflect his
name change for purposes of this appeal. I has now filed a motion
to compel the Bureau of Prisons to change his name from Alvon Allen
Thomas to John Luhon I. We deny this motion without prejudice to
his right to move the district court to compel recognition of his
name change. 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.
DISMISSED
