PER CURIAM:

            Steven    W.   Ward   appeals    the   district   court’s   order

denying his civil action alleging claims under the Federal Tort

Claims Act.     We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

error.      Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the

district court.        Ward v. United States, No. 5:07-cv-00383-BO

(E.D.N.C.    Oct.    23,   2008).    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
