Thomas Parker, III, Appellant Pro Se. Ralph Andrew Price, Jr.,
OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Alexandria, Virginia, for
Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Thomas Parker, III, appeals the district court’s order
granting summary judgment in favor of the United States in his
civil action filed under the Federal Tort Claims Act. We have
reviewed the record, the district court’s order, and Parker’s
informal appellate brief. Because Parker does not challenge the
district court’s reasons for granting summary judgment, he has
failed to preserve any issue for appellate review. See 4th Cir. R.
34(b). Moreover, Parker’s claims of attorney error provide no
basis for relief. See Fed. Trade Comm’n v. Assail, Inc., 410 F.3d
256, 267 (5th Cir. 2005) (“The Sixth Amendment right to counsel is
inapplicable in civil cases.”) (citations omitted). Accordingly,
we affirm the district court’s order. See Parker v. United States,
No. 1:06-cv-00774-TSE (E.D. Va. filed Feb. 21, 2007 & entered Feb.
22, 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
