Before WOLLMAN, COLLOTON, and GRUENDER, Circuit Judges.
                        ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Federal inmate James Ward appeals the district court’s1 dismissal of his 28
U.S.C. § 2241 petition. He argues that the Bureau of Prisons violated his right to
equal protection and his Fifth Amendment rights by imposing certain disciplinary
sanctions against him. He also challenges, in his reply brief only, the district court’s
denial of his motion to amend the petition.



      1
        The Honorable Ann D. Montgomery, United States District Judge for the
District of Minnesota, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable
Jeffrey J. Keyes, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of Minnesota.
       Ward did not raise the equal protection or Fifth Amendment arguments in the
district court, so we will not consider them here. See Orr v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.,

, 725 (8th Cir. 2002) (appellate court considers argument raised for first
time on appeal only if it is purely legal and requires no additional factual
development, or if manifest injustice would otherwise result). Further, Ward waived
the issue regarding the motion to amend by not meaningfully arguing it in his opening
brief. See Chay-Velasquez v. Ashcroft, 

, 756 (8th Cir. 2004).

       We deny Ward’s two motions to supplement the record on appeal. See Dakota
Indus., Inc. v. Dakota Sportswear, Inc., 

, 63 (8th Cir. 1993) (when
interests of justice demand, appellate court may order record of case enlarged, but
authority to enlarge record is rarely exercised and is narrow exception to general rule
that appellate court may consider only record made before district court).

      Accordingly, we affirm.
                     ______________________________
