        PER CURIAM:

               (Chief) Col. Michael S. Owlfeather-Gorbey appeals the district court’s orders

        accepting the recommendations of the magistrate judge in part, dismissing his 28 U.S.C.

        § 2241 petitions without prejudice for failure to assert cognizable habeas claims, denying

        his motion for reconsideration, and imposing a pre-filing injunction. * We have reviewed

        the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s orders.

        See Owlfeather-Gorbey v. Warden, No. 5:21-cv-00367 (S.D.W. Va. Feb. 4, 2022; Jan. 19,

        2022; Jan. 18, 2022; filed Nov. 17, 2021; entered Nov. 18, 2021). 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.

                                                                                       AFFIRMED

               *
                We deny a certificate of appealability as unnecessary. See Harbison v. Bell, 556
        U.S. 180, 183 (2009); United States v. Williams, 56 F.4th 366, 370 n.3 (4th Cir. 2023).
