Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
David Michael Scates, a federal prisoner, appeals the
district court’s orders denying relief on his 28 U.S.C.A. § 2241
(West 2006 & Supp. 2011) petition and his subsequent motion for
reconsideration. We have reviewed the record and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, although we grant leave to
proceed in forma pauperis, we affirm for the reasons stated by
the district court. Scates v. Johns, No. 5:11-hc-02047-D
(E.D.N.C. Oct. 26, 2011; Jan. 25, 2012). We dispense with oral
argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately
presented in the materials before the court and argument would
not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
