PER CURIAM:
Gerald Wayne Timms, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court’s order denying
relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible
error. Accordingly, we affirm substantially for the reasons stated by the district court. *
Timms v. Sullivan, Nos. 5:19-hc-02192-D, 5:19-hc-02220-D (E.D.N.C. Apr. 28, 2020). 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
*
We note that Timms’ suits should not have been dismissed as redundant or
duplicative, as the instant suits involved a different defendant from those cited by the
district court, and the instant suits did not both raise the same claims.
