PER CURIAM:
Keith A. Arrick, Sr., appeals the district court’s order dismissing his action against
the United States under the Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C. §§ 1346(b)(1), 2671-80.
We have reviewed the record and discern no reversible error.∗ Accordingly, we affirm the
district court’s order. Arrick v. United States, No. 5:21-cv-00213-JPB-JPM (N.D. W. Va.
July 16, 2024). 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
∗ Arrick did not preserve for appeal his failure-to-treat claim, nor did he challenge
the district court’s application of the Medical Professional Liability Act, W. Va. Code § 55-
7B-6 (West 2022). See Pledger v. Lynch, 5 F.4th 511, 520-24 (4th Cir. 2021).
Accordingly, we do not consider those claims on appeal. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b); Jackson v.
Lightsey, 775 F.3d 170, 177 (4th Cir. 2014).
