PER CURIAM:
Juan Antonio Contreras, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court’s order
denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2012) petition. We have reviewed the record and
find no reversible error. Accordingly, we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis and
affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Contreras v. Ratledge, No. 5:14-hc-
02014-D (E.D.N.C. Aug. 22, 2016). 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
