UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 08-2217
In Re: GARY B. WILLIAMS,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus.
Submitted: January 13, 2009 Decided: January 15, 2009
Before WILLIAMS, Chief Judge, and TRAXLER and KING, Circuit
Judges.
Petition dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Gary B. Williams, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Gary B. Williams, a federal pretrial detainee, filed a
petition for a writ of habeas corpus with this court pursuant to
28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2000). In the petition, Williams alleges that
he was illegally arrested and is being unlawfully detained, he
is being denied access to the courts, and his right to a speedy
trial has been violated. He seeks immediate release from
custody and other relief. Upon review, we conclude that
Williams is not entitled to the relief sought. Moreover,
Williams may assert his claims in pretrial proceedings in his
pending criminal case. See United States v. Williams, No. 4:08-
cr-00087-RGD-FBS-1 (E.D. Va.). Accordingly, we dismiss
Williams’ petition. 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.
DISMISSED
