                           Appeal from the United States District Court
                               for the Southern District of Florida
                                 ________________________

                                           (October 3, 2011)

Before TJOFLAT, MARTIN and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:
      Avochon Postell, the appellant, is serving a sentence for bank robbery that

was imposed by the district court on November 19, 2004. On December 14, 2010,

he sent the district court a letter, which the court treated as a motion for drug

treatment while incarcerated. The court denied the motion, and Postell,

proceeding pro se, now appeals.

      The authority to grant Postell’s request lies with the Federal Bureau of

Prisons, not the district court. 8 U.S.C. 3621(b),(e); Cook v. Wiley, 208 F.3d 1314

(11th Cir. 2000). The court’s decision denying relief is therefore

      Affirmed.
