Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Antoine Leon Thurman appeals the magistrate judge’s

order ∗ granting summary judgment for Defendants and dismissing

his civil action alleging claims under Bivens v. Six Unknown

Named Agents of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388

(1971), and the Federal Tort Claims Act. We have reviewed the

record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for

the reasons stated by the district court. See Thurman v. United

States Bureau of Prisons, No. 8:06-cv-02458-WMC (D.S.C. Feb. 17,

2009). 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

∗ The parties consented to the magistrate judge’s jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (2006).
