*1 Before NIEMEYER, DUNCAN, and WYNN, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Alan Royall, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. *2 PER CURIAM:

Alan Royall, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court’s order dismissing his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2012) petition.

We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. ^[*] Accordingly, although we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we affirm the reasons stated by the district court. Royall v. Andrews, No. 5:15-hc-02154-D (E.D.N.C. Feb. 16, 2016). 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

[*] To the extent Royall argues that the Supreme Court’s opinion in Persaud v. United States, 134 S. Ct. 1023 (2014) invalidates our opinion in In re Jones, 226 F.3d 328, 333-34 (4th Cir. 2000), until the Supreme Court or an en banc panel of this court issues a substantive opinion overruling Jones, that decision remains binding in this circuit. 2
