R. A. PERDUE,

Jeff Medley, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:
Jeff Medley appeals from the district court’s order denying his
28 U.S.C. § 2241(2012) petition. The district court ruled that Medley’s challenge to his career offender
status was not cognizable under § 2241 pursuant to In re Jones,
226 F.3d 328(4th Cir.
2000). However, when it issued its decision, the district court did not have the benefit of
United States v. Wheeler,
886 F.3d 415, 426(4th Cir. 2018), and Lester v. Flournoy,
909 F.3d 708, 713–14 (4th Cir. 2018).
Accordingly, we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, vacate the district
court’s order and remand for further consideration of Medley’s petition. We deny
Medley’s motion for appointment of counsel. 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.
VACATED AND REMANDED
