    IN RE: Daquan T. WHITE, Petitioner.
    No. 17-2282
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted: January 18, 2018
    Decided: January 22, 2018
    Daquan T. White, Petitioner Pro Se.
    Before GREGORY, Chief Judge, and SHEDD and HARRIS, Circuit Judges.
   Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Daquan T. White has filed an original petition for a writ of habeas corpus, seeking release from jail and dismissal of an indictment issued in Wake County, North Carolina. This court ordinarily declines to entertain original habeas corpus petitions under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2012), and this case presents no reason to depart from this practice. Moreover, we conclude that the interests of justice would not be served by transferring this case to the district court. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1631, 2241(b) (2012). Accordingly, we deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss the petition. 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
