Timothy Walker, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Timothy Walker, 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. Walker v. Smith, No. 5:17-hc-02140-FL

(E.D.N.C. Sept. 7, 2018).

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
