PER CURIAM:
Vincent Merricks appeals the district court’s order denying
relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2000) petition. We have reviewed
the record and the district court’s opinion accepting the
recommendation of the magistrate judge and find no reversible
error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district
court. See Merricks v. Dove, No. CA-01-2538 (D.S.C. Apr. 25, 2002).
We also deny Merricks’ motion to amend his § 2241 petition. 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
