UNPUBLISHED

Submitted: October 3, 2023

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia, at Wheeling. John Preston Bailey, District Judge. (5:23-cv-00173-JPB-JPM)

Abdul-Malik Francis As-Salafi, Appellant Pro Se.

Before WILKINSON and KING, Circuit Judges, and MOTZ, Senior Circuit Judge.

Affirmed as modified by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM

Francis Curtis Davis, a/k/a Abdul-Malik Francis As-Salafi, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court's order dismissing his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition, in which he challenged the execution of his sentence, for failure to exhaust alternative remedies. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. See Timms v. Johns, 627 F.3d 525, 530-31 (4th Cir. 2010). Accordingly, we affirm the district court's order, see Davis v. Brown, No. 5:23-cv-00173-JPB-JPM (N.D. W.Va. July 26, 2023), but we modify the dismissal to be without prejudice, see 28 U.S.C. § 2106; Timms, 627 F.3d at 533. We deny the motion for bond or release pending appeal as moot. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
