PER CURIAM:

Jimmy Lawrence Nance filed a petition for an original writ 

of habeas corpus challenging his 1993 conviction for first 

degree murder of a United States Postal Service employee, in 

violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1111, 1114 (2014). This court 

ordinarily declines to entertain original habeas corpus 

petitions under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2012), and this case provides 

no reason to depart from the general rule. Moreover, we find 

that the interests of justice would not be served by 

transferring the case to the district court. See 28 U.S.C. 

§ 1631 (2012). Accordingly, we deny Nance leave to proceed in 

forma pauperis and dismiss the petition. We dispense with oral 

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately 

presented in the materials before the court and argument would 

not aid the decisional process. 

PETITION DISMISSED
