PER CURIAM:
Douglas E. Melter appeals the district court’s order dismissing his civil action filed
under the Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C. §§ 1346(b), 2671-80. We have reviewed the
record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order.
Melter v. United States, No. 3:22-cv-00391-MHL-MRC (E.D. Va. July 3, 2023). We deny
Melter’s motion for appointment of counsel and 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
