Before KING, FLOYD, and HARRIS, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Larry Frankie Johnson, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Larry Frankie Johnson, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court’s order

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and 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. Johnson v. Smith, No. 5:17-hc-02163-D (E.D.N.C.

Sept. 11, 2019). 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
