PER CURIAM: 

Barton Joseph Adams, a former federal prisoner, appeals the 

district court’s order adopting the recommendation of the 

magistrate judge and dismissing as moot 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. Adams v. Warden, No. 2:14-cv-00065-JPB-JES

(N.D.W. Va. Apr. 7, 2015). We deny Adams’ motion to appoint 

counsel and 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
