James Allen Morris, Appellant Pro Se. Betsy S. Jividen, Assistant United States Attorney, Wheeling, West Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

James Allen Morris, a federal prisoner, appeals the

district court’s order accepting the recommendation of the

magistrate judge and denying relief on his

(2000)

petition. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

error. Accordingly, although we grant Morris’ motion for leave to

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

district court. Morris v. Fransic, No. 3:06-cv-00026-JPB (N.D.W.

Va. Aug. 10, 2007). We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the

materials before the court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.

AFFIRMED
