U.S. Courts of Appeals · decided 2005-08-03

Applies 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996)

Relies on Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Federal Bureau of Narcotics

Affirmed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion · Decided 2005-08-03

PER CURIAM:

¶1 Byron H. Moorehead appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his Bivens * complaint. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See Moorehead v. Bledsoe, No. CA-05-59-GEC (WD.Va. Feb. 2, 2005). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

¶2 AFFIRMED

¶3 Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388, 91 S.Ct. 1999, 29 L.Ed.2d 619 (1971). Moorehead filed a petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2000), which the district court properly construed as a Bivens action.
