UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 14-6640 In re: CHARLES D. IZAC, Petitioner. On Petition for Extraordinary Writ. (3:02-cr-00058-JPB-JSK-1) Submitted: August 21, 2014 Decided: August 26, 2014 Before SHEDD, AGEE, and KEENAN, Circuit Judges. Petition dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Charles D. Izac, Petitioner Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Charles D. Izac filed a petition for an original writ of habeas corpus, challenging the validity of his sentence imposed in May 2006 and arguing that he was denied the effective assistance of counsel during the trial and that he is actually innocent. This court ordinarily declines to entertain an original habeas petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2012), and this case provides no reason to depart from this general rule. Moreover, we find that the interests of justice would not be served by transferring the matter to the appropriate district court. See 28 U.S.C. § 1631 (2012); Fed. R. App. P. 22(a). Accordingly, while we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we dismiss the petition. We also deny Izac s motion for appointment of counsel and for transcripts at government expense. legal before We dispense with oral argument because the facts and contentions this court are adequately and argument presented would not in aid the the materials decisional process. PETITION DISMISSED 2
