PER CURIAM:

James Joseph Owens-El, a former federal prisoner, appeals 

the district court’s order 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. Owens-El v. Fulwood, No. 1:15-cv-00209-WDQ

(D. Md. Sept. 23, 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
