PER CURIAM: 

Artis Eugene Slade, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court’s order dismissing 

his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2012) petition and denying his motion to appoint counsel.

*

 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. Slade v. 

Smith, No. 5:18-hc-02115-BO (E.D.N.C. 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

 * Slade confines his appeal to the district court’s ruling dismissing his petition.
