PER CURIAM:
Gerald Meachum appeals the district court’s order denying
relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2000) petition, construing the
petition as a 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000) motion, and dismissing it as
successive. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s
opinion adopting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and
find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning
of the district court. See Meachum v. Smith, No. CA-03-2730-9-12
(D.S.C. April 22, 2004). 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
