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

contentions

with
are

oral

argument

adequately

because

presented

in

the

facts

and

the

materials

legal
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.
