PER CURIAM:

Frank L. Hinton, a federal prisoner, appeals the 

district court’s order adopting the magistrate judge’s report 

and recommendation and denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 

(2006) petition. We have reviewed the record and find no 

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated 

by the district court and the magistrate judge. Hinton v. 

Warden, USP Hazelton, No. 2:09-cv-00096-REM-JES (N.D.W. Va., 

Nov. 9, 2009). 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
