PER CURIAM:

     Michael Terrell Cook appeals the district court’s orders

denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (1994) petition, declining

to reconsider the denial of relief, and refusing to release Cook on

bond pending disposition of this appeal.         We have reviewed the

record and the district court’s orders and opinion and find no

reversible error.     Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the

district court.     See Cook v. Bledsoe, No. CA-00-60-1 (N.D.W. Va.

Mar. 5, 2001; Feb. 7, 2001).           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.
