PER CURIAM:
Anthony E. Vazquez, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court’s orders
dismissing his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2012) petition and denying reconsideration. The court
determined that Vazquez could not proceed under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 because his petition
did not satisfy the criteria articulated in United States v. Wheeler, 886 F.3d 415, 429 (4th
Cir. 2018), cert. denied, 139 S. Ct. 1318 (2019). We have reviewed the record and find
no reversible error. Accordingly, we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis and affirm
the district court’s orders. See Vazquez v. Ormond, No. 1:18-cv-00144-LMB-JFA (E.D.
Va. July 23, 2018; filed Nov. 26, 2018, entered Nov. 27, 2018). We deny a certificate of
appealability as unnecessary. See 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(1)(B) (2012); United States v.
McRae, 793 F.3d 392, 400 (4th Cir. 2015). 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
