Frederick Darden, Appellant Pro Se. Robert P. McIntosh, OFFICE OF
THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

           Frederick   Darden   appeals   the   district   court’s      order

dismissing his Federal Tort Claims Act complaint. We have reviewed

the record and find no reversible error.          Accordingly, we affirm

for the reasons stated by the district court.            Darden v. United

States,   No.   3:07-cv-00428-REP   (E.D.   Va.   Aug.   24,   2007).     We

dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions

are adequately presented in the materials before the court and

argument would not aid the decisional process.



                                                                  AFFIRMED
