Before SHEDD, AGEE, and DIAZ, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

William McGurgan, Appellant Pro Se. Laura Young, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL, Charleston, West Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

William McGurgan appeals the order of the magistrate judge

denying as moot his motion for leave to proceed without

prepayment of fees. We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated

by the district court. McGurgan v. Warden, No. 1:16-cv-00111-

IMK-RWT (N.D.W. Va. July 20, 2016). Leave to proceed in forma

pauperis is granted. 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. The motion for appointment of counsel is

denied.

AFFIRMED
