PER CURIAM:

James R. Niblock appeals the district court’s order 

denying his petition for a writ of error coram nobis in which he 

alleged that his conviction for wire fraud is no longer valid in 

light of United States v. Jefferson, 674 F.3d 332 (4th Cir. 

2012), which addressed proper venue for wire fraud prosecutions. 

We have reviewed the record and find no abuse of discretion in 

the district court’s denial of the writ. See United States v. 

Akinsade, 686 F.3d 248, 251-52 (4th Cir. 2012) (providing review 

standard). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. 

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
