PER CURIAM:

Tarun Kumar Vyas, a state prisoner, appeals the district court’s order affirming the 

magistrate judge’s order denying Vyas’s motion to seal or redact information from the 

proceedings on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition, as well as the court’s order denying Vyas’s

motion to reconsider. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. 

Accordingly, we deny Vyas’s motion for assignment of counsel, and we affirm the district 

court’s orders. Vyas v. Hutcheson, No. 7:23-cv-00102-JPJ-PMS (W.D. Va. July 23, 2024; 

July 30, 2024). 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
