ASMAR NAFIS NEWSOME,

Petitioner - Appellant,

v.

J. RAY ORMOND,

Respondent - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Norfolk. Robert G. Doumar, Senior District Judge. (2:18-cv-00249-RGD-LRL)

Submitted: January 21, 2020 Decided: January 24, 2020

Before WILKINSON, KEENAN, and THACKER, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Asmar Nafis Newsome, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Asmar Nafis Newsome, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court’s order

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying relief on his

(2018) petition. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, although we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we affirm the district

court’s order. Newsome v. Ormond, No. 2:18-cv-00249-RGD-LRL (E.D. Va. Aug. 15,

2019). We deny as unnecessary Newsome’s motion for a certificate of appealability. See

(c)(1) (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
