PER CURIAM: 

Reginald Bernard Mooney, 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. § 2241 

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

reversible error. Accordingly, although we grant leave to 

proceed in forma pauperis, we affirm for the reasons stated by 

the district court. Mooney v. United States, No. 3:08-cv-03652-

PMD-JRM (D.S.C. Sept. 8, 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

 ∗

 Any issues Mooney seeks to raise other that the 

applicability of the Supreme Court’s decision in Watson v. 

United States, 552 U.S. 74 (2007), must be raised in the 

sentencing court, in a motion to vacate under 28 U.S.C.A. 2255 

(West Supp. 2009) after obtaining authorization to do so. 28 

U.S.C. § 2244(b)(3) (2006), § 2255(h).
