PER CURIAM:

Asmar Nafis Newsome, 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 (2018) petition. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. 

Accordingly, although we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we affirm the district 

court’s order. Newsome v. Ormond, No. 2:18-cv-00249-RGD-LRL (E.D. Va. Aug. 15, 

2019). We deny as unnecessary Newsome’s motion for a certificate of appealability. See

28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(1) (2018). 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
