for Appellee.

PER CURIAM:

            Lawrence    Verline    Wilder,   Sr.,   appeals    the    district

court’s order dismissing his Federal Tort Claims Act complaint

without     prejudice     for     failure    to   exhaust     administrative

remedies.     We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

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

district court.        Wilder v. Chertoff, No. 1:07-cv-02541-BEL (D.

Md. Aug. 14, 2008).       Wilder’s motions for appointment of counsel

and for rehearing and rehearing en banc are denied.                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
