Petitioner – Appellant,

v.

KENNY ATKINSON, Warden, FPC Edgefield,

Respondent - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Charleston. Cameron McGowan Currie, Senior District Judge. (2:13-cv-01383-CMC)

Submitted: December 19, 2013 Decided: December 23, 2013

Before SHEDD, DAVIS, and FLOYD, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Michael Bernard Carothers, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Michael Bernard Carothers, a federal prisoner, appeals

the district court’s order accepting the recommendation of the

magistrate judge and denying relief on his

(West 2006 & Supp. 2013) 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. Carothers v. Atkinson, No.

2:13-cv-01383-CMC (D.S.C. July 23, 2013). 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
