UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 04-6802 RODERICK EMMANUEL STEADMAN, Petitioner, versus

JOSEPH BROOKS, Warden, Respondent. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern

District of Virginia, at Alexandria. Gerald Bruce Lee, District

Judge. (CA-04-174-1)

Submitted: July 21, 2004 Decided: August 19, 2004

Before WILLIAMS, KING, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Roderick Emmanuel Steadman, Petitioner Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

- 2 - PER CURIAM: Roderick Emmanuel Steadman appeals the district court§ 2241 (2000) petition. We

have reviewed the record and find that SteadmanÂ’s claim for relief

under § 2241 is unavailing because he does not meet the test for

proceeding under this statute as set forth in In re Jones

, 226 F.3d 328, 333-34 (4th Cir. 2000). Accordingly, we affirm the district

courtÂ’s denial of relief on this alternate ground. We dispense

with oral argument because the facts and legal issues are

adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument

would not aid the decisional process. AFFIRMED
