Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

       Jo Benoit, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court’s order accepting the

magistrate judge’s recommendation to dismiss her 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2012) petition and

denying her motion for reconsideration of the denial of her motions to compel. We have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, although we grant leave to

proceed in forma pauperis, we deny her motion to compel in this court and affirm for the

reasons stated by the district court. Benoit v. Rickard, No. 1:16-cv-00073 (S.D.W. Va.

Feb. 7, 2017). 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.
