USCA4 Appeal: 23-6644      Doc: 8         Filed: 04/29/2024     Pg: 2 of 2

        PER CURIAM:

               Michael Alonza Rufus, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court’s orders

        dismissing his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition without prejudice and denying reconsideration. *

        We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the

        district court’s orders. See Rufus v. Warden, No. 1:22-cv-00977-PTG-IDD (E.D. Va. May

        3, 2023; Nov. 22, 2022); see also Boumediene v. Bush, 553 U.S. 723, 793 (2008); Stack v.

        Boyle, 342 U.S. 1, 6-7 (1951); Timms v. Johns, 627 F.3d 525, 530-31 (4th Cir. 2010). We

        dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately

        presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional

        process.

                                                                                       AFFIRMED

               *
                 Rufus filed the 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition and motion to reconsider while his appeal
        of the district court’s criminal judgment revoking his supervised release and imposing a
        prison sentence was pending. We have since affirmed the criminal judgment. See United
        States v. Rufus, No. 22-2161, 2023 WL 6567886 (4th Cir. Oct. 10, 2023).
