PER CURIAM:

Luke Ammon Preacher appeals from the district court’s order 

denying his petition for a writ of mandamus in which he challenged 

his civil commitment. 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. 

Preacher v. Holder, No. 5:15-hc-02073-BO (E.D.N.C. Nov. 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
