Lancelot Ward, Appellant Pro Se. Dennis Carl Barghaan, Jr., Assistant United States Attorney, Alexandria, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Lancelot Ward, a federal prisoner, appeals the

district court’s order dismissing his petition filed under 28

U.S.C. § 2241 (2000), for lack of jurisdiction. We have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly,

we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Ward v.

Stansberry, No. 1:08-cv-00294-JCC-TCB (E.D. Va. filed July 8,

2008; entered July 9, 2008). 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
