PER CURIAM:
Michael Louis Hepstall appeals the district court’s order accepting the magistrate
judge’s recommendation to grant Defendant summary judgment on Hepstall’s claims under
the Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C. §§ 2671-80. We have reviewed the record and find
no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See
Hepstall v. United States, No. 8:20-cv-00877-JD (D.S.C. filed Aug. 22, 2022 & entered
Aug. 23, 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
