    PRINCE S. J. WEBBER,
    Petitioner-Appellant,

    DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE - CIVIL RIGHTS

    NFN WARDEN; FEDERAL BUREAU OF PRISONS,

    Appeal from the United States District Court
    for the Northern District of Texas
    USDC No. 1:01-CV-22-C
    --------------------
    November 8, 2002
    Before BARKSDALE, DeMOSS, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM:*
    Prince S. J. Webber, federal prisoner # 04349-000,
    (“Webber”), appeals the district court’s denial of his petition
    for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 
    28 U.S.C. § 2241
    .
    Webber’s petition challenged his parole proceedings and the
    denial of parole on due process and other constitutional grounds.
    Webber contends that the district court erred in denying relief
    and erred in denying a discovery request.   Webber moves for the
    *
    Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined
    that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
    except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
    R. 47.5.4.

    appointment of counsel on appeal, but the interests of justice do
    not require appointment of counsel and therefore the motion is
    DENIED.   See Schwander v. Blackburn, 
    750 F.2d 494
    , 502 (5th Cir.
    1985).
    The parole record establishes that the decision of the
    U.S. Parole Commission was supported by some evidence and that
    Webber received all process due in connection with the parole
    proceedings.   See Simpson v. Ortiz, 
    995 F.2d 606
    , 608 (5th Cir.
    1993); Kindred v. Spears, 
    894 F.2d 1477
    , 1479 (5th Cir. 1990).
    The parole conditions of which Webber complains are reasonably
    related to the purpose of parole.    See United States v. Tonry,
    
    605 F.2d 144
    , 150 (5th Cir. 1979).   Accordingly, the district
    court did not err in denying relief under 
    28 U.S.C. § 2241
    .   The
    district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Webber’s
    discovery request.   Moore v. Willis Indep. School Dist., 
    233 F.3d 871
    , 876 (5th Cir. 2000).
    AFFIRMED; MOTION DENIED.
