PER CURIAM: Avochon Postell, the appellant, is serving a sentence for bank robbery that was imposed by the district court on November 19, 2004. On December 14, 2010, he sent the district court a letter, which the court treated as a motion for drug treatment while incarcerated. The court denied the motion, and Postell, proceeding pro se, now appeals. The authority to grant Postell s request lies with the Federal Bureau of Prisons, not the district court. 8 U.S.C. 3621(b),(e); Cook v. Wiley, 208 F.3d 1314 (11th Cir. 2000).
