Charles Dogan, Jr., Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.2 PER CURIAM:
Charles Dogan, Jr., filed a petition for an original
writ of habeas corpus challenging his 1997 conviction for
possession with intent to distribute cocaine base. This court
ordinarily declines to entertain original habeas petitions filed

under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2006), and th is 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 (2006); Fed.
R. App. P. 22(a). Accordingly, we dismiss t he 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
