PER CURIAM:

            Lionell     Elijah   Ephraim      appeals   the   district   court’s

orders      adopting      the      magistrate        judge’s      report       and

recommendation, denying his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2012) petition and

denying   his    Rule    59    motion   of    the   Federal    Rules    of   Civil

Procedure.      We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

error.    Accordingly, while we grant Ephraim leave to proceed in

forma pauperis, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district

court.    Ephraim v. Hogsten, No. 1:12-cv-02339 (S.D.W. Va. Apr.

4, 2014; June 27, 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.



                                                                         AFFIRMED
