           Appeal from the United States District Court

                        USDC No. EP-97-CV-41
_________________________________________________________________

                            April 21, 1998

Before JOLLY, BENAVIDES, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Alan Louis Chavis, federal prisoner #26139-080, appeals from

the district court’s denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition.

Chavis contended that the United States Parole Commission violated

his due process rights by not allowing him an opportunity to rebut

his parole violation charges before all of the hearing examiners.

We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and

find no reversible error.    Accordingly, we AFFIRM for essentially

the reasons given by the district court.     Chavis v. Aguirre, No.

EP-97-CA-41-H (W.D. Tex. Aug. 6, 1997).

     *
      Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that
this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except
under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.
