PER CURIAM:

     Robert Dean Clark appeals the district court’s order dismiss-

ing his 28 U.S.C.A. § 2241 (West 1994) petition.   We have reviewed

the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible

error.   Accordingly, we affirm the dismissal of Clark’s § 2241

petition on the reasoning of the district court.      See Clark v.

United States, No. CA-00-128-BO-5 (E.D.N.C. May 5, 2000). In addi-

tion, Clark moved for a hearing under 18 U.S.C.A. § 4247(h) (West

Supp. 2000).   The district court’s order did not address the §

4247(h) motion; however, because such a motion must be filed “with

the court that ordered the commitment,” 18 U.S.C.A. § 4247(h), the

district court was without authority to rule.      We deny Clark’s

motion for appointment of counsel on appeal and 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
