Before BOWMAN, FAGG, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.
                          ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Dale Thomas Johns appeals the district court's order dismissing Johns's
application for habeas relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. Having carefully reviewed the
record and the parties' briefs, we conclude the judgment of the district court was correct
for the reasons stated by the magistrate judge, whose recommendation the district court
adopted. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
