PER CURIAM:
Nelson Rivas, a federal prisoner, appeals the district
court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate
judge and denying relief on his 28 U.S.C.A. § 2241 (West 2006 &
Supp. 2011) petition. We have reviewed the record and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated
by the district court. Rivas v. Cross, No. 2:10-cv-00098-JPB-
DJJ (N.D.W. Va. Apr. 27, 2011). 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
