PER CURIAM.

       Federal inmate John M. Davis appeals the district court’s1 dismissal of his
petition for a writ of habeas corpus, filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. Upon de novo
review, see Hill v. Morrison, 

, 1091 (8th Cir. 2003), we conclude that
habeas relief was properly denied. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
