UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 14-6640
In re: CHARLES D. IZAC,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Extraordinary Writ.
(3:02-cr-00058-JPB-JSK-1)
Submitted: August 21, 2014 Decided: August 26, 2014
Before SHEDD, AGEE, and KEENAN, Circuit Judges.
Petition dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Charles D. Izac, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Charles D. Izac filed a petition for an original writ
of habeas corpus, challenging the validity of his sentence
imposed in May 2006 and arguing that he was denied the effective
assistance of counsel during the trial and that he is actually
innocent. This court ordinarily declines to entertain an
original habeas petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2012),
and this case provides no reason to depart from this general
rule. Moreover, we find that the interests of justice would not
be served by transferring the matter to the appropriate district
court. See 28 U.S.C. § 1631 (2012); Fed. R. App. P. 22(a).
Accordingly, while we grant leave to proceed in forma
pauperis, we dismiss the petition. We also deny Izac’s motion
for appointment of counsel and for transcripts at government
expense. 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
