PER CURIAM:

           Herman Lewis Billups, a federal prisoner, appeals the

district     court’s   order     accepting    the     recommendation        of    the

magistrate    judge    and    denying   relief   on    his    28   U.S.C.    § 2241

(2012)   petition.       We    have   reviewed   the    record      and    find    no

reversible    error.         Accordingly,    although    we    grant      leave    to

proceed in forma pauperis, we affirm for the reasons stated by

the district court.           Billups v. Perdue, No. 2:14-cv-00007-JPB-

RWT (N.D.W. Va. Aug. 13, 2014).             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.
