Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

            Samuel    M.    James   appeals   the    district       court’s    order

granting Defendants’ motion to dismiss his complaint.                       We have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.                     Accordingly,

we   affirm     for   the    reasons   stated       by   the     district     court.

James v. United States, No. 3:13-cv-00861-REP (E.D. Va. May 23,

2014).     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
