Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Artis Eugene Slade, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court’s order dismissing
his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2012) petition and denying his motion to appoint counsel. * 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. Slade v.
Smith, No. 5:18-hc-02115-BO (E.D.N.C. 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
*
Slade confines his appeal to the district court’s ruling dismissing his petition.
