PER CURIAM:

Richard Wandell, Jr., a federal prisoner, appeals the district court’s order accepting 

the ultimate recommendation of the magistrate judge to dismiss without prejudice for lack 

of jurisdiction Wandell’s 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2018) petition. We have reviewed the record 

and find no reversible error in the district court’s finding that it lacked jurisdiction to review 

Wandell’s challenge to his career offender status.

*

 Accordingly, although we grant leave 

to proceed in forma pauperis, we affirm the disposition of the sentencing claim for the

reasons stated by the district court. Wandell v. Entzel, No. 3:18-cv-00128-GMG (N.D.W. 

Va. Aug. 9, 2019). 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

 * Wandell waived appellate review of his remaining claim by failing to object to the 

magistrate judge’s recommendation after receiving proper notice. See Martin v. Duffy, 858 

F.3d 239, 245 (4th Cir. 2017).
