TIMOTHY WIMS, a/k/a Timothy Derrinado Davis, a/k/a John Darren Delgado, Petitioner - Appellant, v. WARDEN, FCI Edgefield, Respondent - Appellee.
Timothy Wims, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court's order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2012) petition. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, although we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we affirm. See Beckles v. United States, 137 S. Ct. 886, 894-95 (2017) (United States Sentencing Guidelines not subject to void for vagueness challenge and therefore Johnson v. United States, 135 S. Ct. 2551 (2015), did not invalidate the residual clause of the definition of a crime of violence under the Guidelines). 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.
