                  Appeal from the United States District Court
                      for the Middle District of Florida
                       _________________________

                              (December 30, 2005)

Before TJOFLAT, ANDERSON and BIRCH, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

     The district court, on June 14, 2005, dismissed with prejudice petitioner’s 28
U.S.C. § 2241 petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Record, Vol. 2 at Tab 32. The

court dismissed the petition because it “simply reassert[ed] an argument that was

raised and rejected on direct appeal and in [petitioner’s] subsequent [28 U.S.C.] §

2255 and other collateral proceedings.” 

appeals the court’s decision. We find no merit in his petition

for the reasons stated in the district court’s June 14 order.

      AFFIRMED.
