    PER CURIAM:
    William         Edward      ReBrook,       III,      appeals      the    district
    court’s order, accepting the magistrate judge’s recommendation
    (except as otherwise stated), denying his petition for a writ of
    error coram nobis, and dismissing the action.                                 In his writ,
    ReBrook alleges that his conviction for wire fraud, under 18
    U.S.C. §§ 1343, 1346 (2012), is no longer valid in light of
    Skilling v. United States, 
    561 U.S. 358
    (2010).                              We note that a
    writ of error coram nobis is a remedy of last resort, United
    States v. Mandel, 
    862 F.2d 1067
    , 1075 (4th Cir. 1988), and that
    it   is    narrowly          limited      to     extraordinary          cases      presenting
    circumstances compelling its use to achieve justice.                                    United
    States v. Denedo, 
    556 U.S. 904
    (2009).                            We find no abuse of
    discretion in the district court’s denial of the writ, United
    States     v.     Akinsade,        
    686 F.3d 248
    ,    251-52     (4th    Cir.    2012)
    (providing        review     standard),        and     accordingly          affirm    for   the
    reasons     stated      by    the   district         court      that   the    conviction    is
    valid     under    18   U.S.C.      § 1343       under      a   property      fraud    theory.
    ReBrook v. United States, No. 2:10-cv-01009 (S.D.W. Va. Feb. 11,
    2014).      We dispense with oral argument because the facts and
    legal     contentions        are    adequately         presented       in    the     materials
    2
    before   this   court   and   argument   would   not   aid   the   decisional
    process.
    AFFIRMED
