PER CURIAM:
Meredith Lee VanHoose appeals the district court’s
order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and
denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2006) petition. We have
reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly,
although we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we affirm
for the reasons stated by the district court. VanHoose v.
Seifert, No. 3:11-cv-00448 (S.D.W. Va. Mar. 30, 2012). We deny
VanHoose’s motion for appointment of counsel. We also deny the
Respondent’s motion to strike VanHoose’s reply brief and
exhibits. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and
legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials
before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
AFFIRMED
