Samuel A. Middleton, David Lee Sykes, John A. Cole, Appellants Pro
Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Appellants, who are Washington state inmates, appeal the dis-
trict court’s order dismissing their petition filed under 28 U.S.C.
§ 2241 (1994) for improper venue. We have reviewed the record and
the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the
appeal on the reasoning of the district court. See Middleton v.
Washington State Dep’t of Corr. Corp., No. CA-01-867 (E.D. Va. Nov.
20, 2001). 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
