Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. USCA4 Appeal: 22-2311 Doc: 7 Filed: 02/07/2023 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM:

Brad Edmonds petitions this court for a writ of habeas corpus. This court does not

have jurisdiction to entertain original habeas corpus petitions under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. See

Dragenice v. Ridge, 389 F.3d 92, 100 (4th Cir. 2004). Moreover, the interest of justice

would not be served by transferring the case to the district court. See 28 U.S.C. § 1631.

We therefore dismiss Edmonds’ petition for lack of jurisdiction. 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
