UNPUBLISHED

UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 16-2220

In re: KENNETH WAYNE WATFORD,

Petitioner.

On Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus.

Submitted: February 16, 2017 Decided: February 21, 2017

Before GREGORY, Chief Judge, DUNCAN, Circuit Judge, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.

Petition dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Kenneth Wayne Watford, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Kenneth Wayne Watford petitions for an original writ of

habeas corpus challenging the revocation of his pretrial

release. This court ordinarily declines to entertain original

habeas corpus petitions under

(2012), and this

case provides no reason to depart from the general rule.

Moreover, we conclude that a transfer to the district court

would not be in the interests of justice. See

(2012). Accordingly, although we grant Watford’s motion to

supplement his petition, we deny leave to proceed in forma

pauperis and dismiss 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 DISMISSED
