PER CURIAM:
William James Jones, a federal prisoner, appeals the
district court’s order denying relief on his petition filed under
28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2000) because the motion should have been brought
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000). We have reviewed the record
and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the
reasoning of the district court. See Jones v. Stansberry, No. CA-
05-342-5-H (E.D.N.C. July 12, 2005). We deny Jones’ motion to file
a formal brief and 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
