LANCE WHITAKER,

Petitioner – Appellant,

v.

ANGELA P. DUNBAR,

Respondent - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at Raleigh. James C. Dever III, Chief District Judge. (5:13-hc-02009-D)

Submitted: January 22, 2015 Decided: January 30, 2015

Before WYNN and FLOYD, Circuit Judges, and DAVIS, Senior Circuit Judge.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Lance Whitaker, Appellant Pro Se. Seth Morgan Wood, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Lance Whitaker, a federal prisoner, appeals the

district court’s order granting in part and denying in part his

(2012) petition. We have reviewed the record

and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we grant leave to

proceed in forma pauperis, and affirm the district court’s

order. We also deny Whitaker’s motion to reopen his

(2012) proceeding. 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
