PER CURIAM:
Arthur Lee Butler, Jr., appeals from the district
court’s order dismissing Butler’s 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2012)
petition for lack of jurisdiction. Butler’s petition sought
retroactive application of the Fair Sentencing Act’s statutory
mandatory minimum sentences. Butler was sentenced prior to the
effective date of the Act. We have reviewed the record and the
arguments on appeal and conclude that Butler’s claim is without
merit. See United States v. Bullard, 645 F.3d 237, 248-29 (4th
Cir. 2011). Accordingly, we grant permission to proceed in
forma pauperis and affirm the judgment of the district court.
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.
AFFIRMED
