UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 15-1816

In re: JOSEPH KENNARD SHELTON

Petitioner.

On Petition for Extraordinary Writ. (No. 1:11-cr-00397-WO-1)

Submitted: October 20, 2015 Decided: October 22, 2015

Before MOTZ, KEENAN, and THACKER, Circuit Judges.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Joseph Kennard Shelton, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Joseph Kennard Shelton petitions for a writ of error coram

nobis. “As a remedy of last resort, the writ of error coram

nobis is granted only where an error is of the most fundamental

character and there exists no other available remedy.” United

States v. Akinsade,

686 F.3d 248, 252

(4th Cir. 2012) (internal

quotation marks omitted). Shelton has failed to meet these

standards. Accordingly, we grant leave to proceed in forma

pauperis and deny the petition. 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.

PETITION DENIED
