Simon Newman, Appellant Pro Se. Daniel W. Dickinson, Jr., OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Rita R. Valdrini, Assistant United States Attorney, Wheeling, West Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Simon Newman appeals the district court’s order

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and

dismissing Newman’s complaint under the Federal Tort Claims Act,

28 U.S.C. §§ 2571–2680 (2006). We have reviewed the record and

find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Newman’s motion

to compel production of documents and affirm for the reasons

stated by the district court. Newman v. United States, No.

1:07-cv-00121-IMK-JES (N.D. W. Va. July 22 & Aug. 13, 2008). 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
