PER CURIAM:
Brad Edmonds petitions this court for a writ of habeas corpus. This court does not
have jurisdiction to entertain original habeas corpus petitions under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. See
Dragenice v. Ridge, 389 F.3d 92, 100 (4th Cir. 2004). Moreover, the interest of justice
would not be served by transferring the case to the district court. See 28 U.S.C. § 1631.
We therefore dismiss Edmonds’ petition for lack of jurisdiction. 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
