OPINION

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241, petitioner, a former

federal inmate, filed this lawsuit seeking habeas relief.

This lawsuit is now before the court on the

recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge that

petitioner’s writ petition be denied. Also before the

court are petitioner’s objections to the recommendation.

After an independent and de novo review of the record,

the court concludes that petitioner’s objections should

be overruled and the magistrate judge’s

recommendation adopted.

An appropriate judgment will be entered.
