WILLIAM JAMES JONES,
Plaintiff - Appellant,
versus
PATRICIA R. STANSBERRY,
Defendant - Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of North Carolina, at Raleigh. Malcolm J. Howard, Senior
District Judge. (CA-05-342-5-H)
Submitted: April 27, 2006 Decided: May 3, 2006
Before NIEMEYER and MOTZ, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior
Circuit Judge.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
William James Jones, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
William James Jones, a federal prisoner, appeals the
district court’s order denying relief on his petition filed under
28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2000) because the motion should have been brought
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000). We have reviewed the record
and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the
reasoning of the district court. See Jones v. Stansberry, No. CA-
05-342-5-H (E.D.N.C. July 12, 2005). We deny Jones’ motion to file
a formal brief and 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
