USCA4 Appeal: 23-7173 Doc: 13 Filed: 07/11/2024 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM: Robert Z. Whipple, III, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying relief on Whipple’s 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition in which Whipple challenged the conditions of his confinement.

We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Whipple v. Heckard, No. 5:23-cv-00416 (S.D.W. Va. Nov. 2, 2023).

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
