Before MOTZ, KEENAN, and THACKER, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Michael M. Thompson, Appellant Pro Se. John Fulton Gianola, Assistant United States Attorney, Charleston, West Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Michael M. Thompson, a federal prisoner, appeals the

district court’s order denying relief on his

(2012) 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. Thompson v. Ziegler, No. 5:13-cv-15862

(S.D.W. Va. Apr. 14, 2015). 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
