PER CURIAM:
Lamont Maurice El petitions for an original writ of habeas
corpus challenging his confinement. This court ordinarily
declines to entertain original habeas corpus petitions under 28
U.S.C. § 2241 (2012), and this case provides no reason to depart
from the general rule. Moreover, we find that a transfer to the
district court would not be in the interest of justice. See 28
U.S.C. § 1631 (2012). Accordingly, we deny Maurice El leave to
proceed in forma pauperis, deny his motions to amend the petition,
deny as moot his motion to correct the caption, 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
