PER CURIAM:

      James Joseph Owens-El, a former 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,       although    we    grant    leave     to

proceed in forma pauperis, we affirm for the reasons stated by

the district court.        Owens-El v. Fulwood, No. 1:15-cv-00209-WDQ

(D. Md. Sept. 23, 2015).         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
