    Summary Calendar
    JAIME VASQUEZ,
    Petitioner-Appellant,
    versus
    R. D. MILES, Warden, Federal Correctional Institution, Bastrop,
    Respondent-Appellee.
    --------------------
    Appeal from the United States District Court
    for the Western District of Texas
    USDC No. A-01-CV-728-JN
    --------------------
    October 29, 2002
    Before HIGGINBOTHAM, SMITH, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM:*
    Jaime Vasquez, federal prisoner # 64305-080, appeals the
    denial of his petition styled habeas corpus, requesting his
    transfer to a minimum-security prison camp.    Vasquez also
    requests this court to order the Bureau of Prisons to remove
    allegedly incorrect information from his central file, and
    monetary damages.    We AFFIRM.
    The Bureau of Prisons did not abuse its discretion by
    refusing to transfer Vasquez to a prison camp, because its
    *
    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    that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
    No. 02-50328

    decision is supported by irrefutable facts.   See Whitley v. Hunt,
    
    158 F.3d 882
    , 889 (5th Cir. 1998).
    Vasquez requests this court to order the Bureau of Prisons
    to correct his central file, to show that he has a minimum-
    custody classification, on authority of the Freedom of
    Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. § 552a.   Vasquez’s reliance on
    exhibits he filed with his habeas corpus petition is misplaced,
    because they do not show that he is entitled to minimum custody.
    See Fendler v. United States Bureau of Prisons, 
    846 F.2d 550
    , 554
    (9th Cir. 1988).   Finally, Vasquez is not entitled to monetary
    damages under the FOIA.   
    Id.
    AFFIRMED.
