PER CURIAM:
Shawn M. Rice appeals the district court’s order dismissing his claims under the
Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C. §§ 1346(b), 2671-2680, for lack of subject matter
jurisdiction, and denying his motion for the appointment of counsel. We have reviewed
the record and discern no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order.
Rice v. United States, No. 3:21-cv-00036-GMG (N.D.W. Va. Jan. 7, 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
