Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Raphael Mendez, presently confined at the Federal Medical
Center in Rochester, Minnesota, appeals the district court order
dismissing his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2000) petition for lack of
jurisdiction. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s
order and affirm for the reasons cited by the district court.
Mendez v. Craven, No. 5:07-hc-02173-D (E.D.N.C. Apr. 2, 2008). We
also find the court did not abuse its discretion in not
transferring the case. 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
