PER CURIAM:

      Frederick Banks challenges the district court’s order dismissing—under the Prison

Litigation Reform Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1915 (2012)—what it construed to be an action under

Bivens v. Six Unknown Fed. Narcotics Agents, 403 U.S. 388 (1971). The district court

also recognized that to the extent Banks sought release from custody pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 2241 (2012), Banks failed to exhaust his available remedies. Banks challenges

on appeal only the district court’s exhaustion holding, see 4th Cir. R. 34(b), which we

conclude is correct. Accordingly, we grant Banks’ application to proceed in forma

pauperis and affirm. See Banks v. Trump, No. 5:17-ct-03060-BO (E.D.N.C. Sept. 27,

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.
