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
