PER CURIAM:

Lionell Elijah Ephraim appeals the district court’s order

and judgment adopting the magistrate judge’s report and 

recommendation and denying his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2012) petition. 

We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. 

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district 

court. Ephraim v. Hogsten, No. 1:12-cv-04701 (S.D. W. Va. Oct. 

27, 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
