Norman Alan Kerr, Appellant Pro Se. Christopher Gibbs, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Norman Alan Kerr, a federal prisoner, appeals the district

court’s order adopting the recommendation of the magistrate

judge and denying relief on his

(2012)

petition. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the

district court. Kerr v. Rogers, No. 5:16-cv-00278-MGL (D.S.C.

Sept. 20, 2016). We deny Kerr’s motion for a certificate of

appealability as unnecessary and deny his motion for a

transcript at government expense. 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
