PER CURIAM:

Michael Alonza Rufus, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court’s orders

dismissing his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition without prejudice and denying reconsideration. *

We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the

district court’s orders. See Rufus v. Warden, No. 1:22-cv-00977-PTG-IDD (E.D. Va. May

3, 2023; Nov. 22, 2022); see also Boumediene v. Bush, 553 U.S. 723, 793 (2008); Stack v.

Boyle, 342 U.S. 1, 6-7 (1951); Timms v. Johns, 627 F.3d 525, 530-31 (4th Cir. 2010). We

dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately

presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.

AFFIRMED

* Rufus filed the 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition and motion to reconsider while his appeal of the district court’s criminal judgment revoking his supervised release and imposing a prison sentence was pending. We have since affirmed the criminal judgment. See United States v. Rufus, No. 22-2161, 2023 WL 6567886 (4th Cir. Oct. 10, 2023).
