Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

            Randy    L.    Thornton,    a     federal   prisoner,    appeals    the

district court’s order denying relief on his 28 U.S.C.A. § 2241

(West 2006 & Supp. 2010) petition and has moved for appointment

of counsel.       We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

error.   Accordingly, we deny Thornton’s motion for appointment

of counsel and affirm for the reasons stated by the district

court.      See    Thornton     v.   United     States,   No.   5:10-hc-02023-D

(E.D.N.C. Jan. 6, 2011).          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
