PER CURIAM:
Jeremy Fontanez, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court’s order dismissing his
28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition. Our review of the record confirms the district court’s holding
that Fontanez failed to exhaust his administrative remedies before filing the underlying
§ 2241 petition and, further, that Fontanez did not establish that exhaustion of such
remedies should be excused under the circumstances of this case. Accordingly, we affirm
the district court’s order. Fontanez v. Peters, No. 1:24-cv-03392-MJM (D. Md. filed Nov.
24, 2025 & entered Nov. 25, 2025). 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.
AFFIRMED
