Before RILEY, SMITH, and BENTON, Circuit Judges.
                            ___________

PER CURIAM.

      Juan Esparza-Ramirez appeals from the district court’s1 denial of his 28 U.S.C.
§ 2241 petition. Upon careful de novo review, see Hill v. Morrison, 

,
1091 (8th Cir. 2003), we conclude that the district court’s decision was proper.
Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.



      1
      The Honorable Donovan W. Frank, United States District Judge for the District
of Minnesota, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable Susan
Richard Nelson, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of Minnesota.
