PER CURIAM:
Larry Blakney appeals the district court’s order dismissing under 28 U.S.C.
§ 1915(e)(2)(B) as frivolous his complaint brought pursuant to the Federal Tort Claims
Act. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm
the district court’s order. Blakney v. United States, No. 5:22-ct-03346-D (E.D.N.C. Nov.
23, 2022). We deny Blakney’s motion to appoint a guardian ad litem 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
