JOHNNIE LEE JUSTICE, Petitioner - Appellant, v. HAROLD W. CLARKE, Director, etc., Respondent - Appellee.

Johnnie Lee Justice, Appellant Pro Se.


UNPUBLISHED

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Alexandria. Leonie M. Brinkema, District Judge. (1:19-cv-00247-LMB-TCB) Before MOTZ, WYNN, and DIAZ, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Johnnie Lee Justice, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Johnnie Lee Justice appeals the district court's order determining that his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2012) petition was an unauthorized, successive petition and dismissing the petition without prejudice for lack of jurisdiction. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis and affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Justice v. Clarke, No. 1:19-cv-00247-LMB-TCB (E.D. Va. Apr. 2, 2019). We deny as unnecessary a certificate of appealability. See Harbison v. Bell, 556 U.S. 180, 183 (2009). 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
