PER CURIAM: Rodney Eugene Smith appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (1994) petition. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See People of the United States v. Huppenthal, No. CA-01- 239-1 (S.D.W. Va. Apr. 26, 2001). We deny Smith’s motion for im- mediate hearing. 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 2
