UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 03-6056

In Re: MONTA OLANDER JORDAN,

Petitioner.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia, at Roanoke. Samuel G. Wilson, Chief District Judge. (CR-94-103-R)

Submitted: February 26, 2003 Decided: March 12, 2003

Before MICHAEL, MOTZ, and SHEDD, Circuit Judges.

Petition dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Monta Olander Jordan, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

Monta Olander Jordan filed a habeas corpus petition pursuant

to

(2000) and an application to proceed in forma

pauperis. We conclude that a motion under

(2000)

is an adequate and effective means for Jordan to challenge his

conviction. See In re Jones,

, 332-34 (4th Cir. 2000).

We therefore dismiss the petition because its transfer to the

appropriate district court would not serve the interest of justice.

See

(2000); Fed. R. App. P. 22(a). Leave to

proceed in formal pauperis is denied. We dispense with oral

argument because the facts and legal issues are adequately

presented in the materials before the court and argument would not

aid the decisional process.

PETITION DISMISSED
