PER CURIAM:

     Lawrence Michael Harrison, Sr., appeals the district court’s

order denying his claim for damages under the FTCA.    We have re-

viewed the record and the district court’s opinion accepting the

recommendation of the magistrate judge and find no reversible

error.   Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district

court.   Harrison v. United States, No. CA-99-513-BR (E.D.N.C. Aug.

15, 2000).    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
