In re: STEPHEN NIVENS, Petitioner.
Stephen Nivens, Petitioner Pro Se.
UNPUBLISHED
Submitted: June 22, 2023
On Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus.
Stephen Nivens, Petitioner Pro Se.
Before WYNN, DIAZ, and THACKER, Circuit Judges.
Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Stephen Nivens petitions this court for a writ of habeas corpus. We dismiss the petition for lack of jurisdiction and decline to transfer it to the district court. See 28 U.S.C. § 1631; Dragenice v. Ridge, 389 F.3d 92, 100 (4th Cir. 2004). We also deny Nivens' motion to appoint counsel. 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.
DISMISSED
