IN RE: William M. BAILEY (2018)

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

IN RE: William M. BAILEY, Petitioner.

No. 17-2403

Decided: April 02, 2018

Before AGEE and DIAZ, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.

William M. Bailey, Petitioner Pro Se.

William M. Bailey has filed an original petition for a writ of habeas corpus, challenging the legality of his state court convictions and seeking release. This court ordinarily declines to entertain original habeas corpus petitions under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2012), and this case presents no reason to depart from this practice. Moreover, we conclude that the interests of justice would not be served by transferring this case to the district court. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1631, 2241(b) (2012). Accordingly, we deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss the petition. 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.

PETITION DISMISSED

PER CURIAM:

Petition dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
