PER CURIAM:

Ray A. Blanchard, 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, we grant leave to proceed in 

forma pauperis and affirm for the reasons stated by the district 

court. Blanchard v. O’Brien, No. 5:13-cv-00134-FPS-RWT (N.D.W. 

Va. Nov. 5, 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
