PER CURIAM:

Omar Abdel-Al-Mumit filed a petition for an original writ 

of habeas corpus challenging his South Carolina convictions. 

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 interest of justice would not be served by 

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

§ 1631 (2012). Accordingly, we deny Abdel-Al-Mumit leave to 

proceed in forma pauperis, deny his motion for appointment of 

counsel, 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
