PER CURIAM:
Stephen Nivens petitions this court for a writ of habeas corpus. We dismiss the
petition for lack of jurisdiction and decline to transfer it to the district court. See 28 U.S.C.
§ 1631; Dragenice v. Ridge, 389 F.3d 92, 100 (4th Cir. 2004). 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.
DISMISSED
