PER CURIAM:

Joseph Coppola, a federal prisoner, appeals the district 

court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate 

judge and denying relief on 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. Coppola v. O’Brien, No. 2:14-cv-00013-JPB-JES (N.D. W. 

Va. June 17, 2015). We deny Coppola’s pending motions for 

appointment of counsel and to stay his transfer pending appeal. 

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
