PER CURIAM:
Larry Blakney appeals the district court’s order dismissing under 28 U.S.C.
§ 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii) his civil action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and the Federal
Tort Claims Act and denying as moot his motion to appoint a guardian ad litem. We have
reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons
stated by the district court. Blakney v. United States, No. 5:22-ct-03094-M (E.D.N.C.
Feb. 9, 2023). 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
