Richard Wandell, Jr., Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM: Richard Wandell, Jr., a federal prisoner, appeals the district court’s order accepting the ultimate recommendation of the magistrate judge to dismiss without prejudice for lack of jurisdiction Wandell’s 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2018) petition. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error in the district court’s finding that it lacked jurisdiction to review Wandell’s challenge to his career offender status. * Accordingly, although we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we affirm the disposition of the sentencing claim for the reasons stated by the district court. Wandell v. Entzel, No. 3:18-cv-00128-GMG (N.D.W.

Va. Aug. 9, 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

* Wandell waived appellate review of his remaining claim by failing to object to the magistrate judge’s recommendation after receiving proper notice. See Martin v. Duffy, 858 F.3d 239, 245 (4th Cir. 2017).
