PER CURIAM:
Jose Vargas Soto, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court’s order accepting
the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241
(2012) petition. 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. Vargas Soto v. Rickard, No. 1:15-cv-07012 (E.D.N.C. May 4, 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.
AFFIRMED
