Before NIEMEYER and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Randy L. Thornton, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Randy L. Thornton, a federal prisoner, appeals the

district court’s order denying relief on his 28 U.S.C.A. § 2241

(West 2006 & Supp. 2010) petition and has moved for appointment

of counsel. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

error. Accordingly, we deny Thornton’s motion for appointment

of counsel and affirm for the reasons stated by the district

court. See Thornton v. United States, No. 5:10-hc-02023-D

(E.D.N.C. Jan. 6, 2011). 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.

AFFIRMED
