    Submitted: Jan. 12, 2010.
    Filed: Jan. 21, 2010.
    Rudolph George Stanko, White Deer, PA, pro se.
    Tricia Annette Tingle, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Minneapolis, MN, for Appellees.
    Before BYE, RILEY, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

Federal inmate Rudolph George Stanko appeals the district court’s denial of his petition for a writ of habeas corpus, filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. Upon de novo review, see Mitchell v. U.S. Parole Comm’n, 538 F.3d 948, 951 (8th Cir.2008) (per curiam), we conclude that habeas relief was properly denied. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. 
      
      . The Honorable Joan N. Ericksen, United States District Judge for the District of Minnesota, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable Jeanne J. Graham, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of Minnesota.
