PER CURIAM:

Robert Lee Winfield, Jr., a federal prisoner, appeals the 

district court’s order accepting the recommendation of the 

magistrate judge and dismissing 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. Winfield v. Wilson, No. 3:14-cv-00172-REP-RCY (E.D. Va. 

Mar. 3, 2015). 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
