        In re: BRAD EDMONDS,

USCA4 Appeal: 22-2311      Doc: 7        Filed: 02/07/2023     Pg: 2 of 2

        PER CURIAM:

              Brad Edmonds petitions this court for a writ of habeas corpus. This court does not

        have jurisdiction to entertain original habeas corpus petitions under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. See

        Dragenice v. Ridge, 389 F.3d 92, 100 (4th Cir. 2004). Moreover, the interest of justice

        would not be served by transferring the case to the district court. See 28 U.S.C. § 1631.

        We therefore dismiss Edmonds’ petition for lack of jurisdiction. 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.

                                                                            PETITION DISMISSED

                                                    2
