PER CURIAM:
Joseph Valerio appeals the district court’s orders granting the Government’s motion
to dismiss or for summary judgment and dismissing his amended complaint brought under
the Federal Tort Claims Act, denying his request for leave to conduct discovery, and
denying his Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion to alter or amend judgment. We have reviewed
the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by
the district court. Valerio v. United States, No. 5:20-cv-00185-JPB-JPM (N.D.W. Va.
May 19 & June 28, 2022). 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
