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.
