Joshua Fluellen, Appellant Pro Se. Raymond Emery Clark, Assistant United States Attorney, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

Joshua Fluellen appeals a district court judgment

adopting the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation, granting

summary judgment to the United States and the remaining Defendants,

and dismissing the complaint under the Federal Tort Claims Act

(“FTCA”), 28 U.S.C. §§ 2671-2680 (2000). We have reviewed the

record, the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation, and the

district court’s order and affirm for the reasons stated by the

district court. See Fluellen v. United States, No.

CA-03-211-3-26BC (D.S.C. filed July 30, 2004 & entered August 2,

2004). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal

contentions of the parties are adequately presented in the

materials before the court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.

AFFIRMED
