Assistant United States Attorney, Charleston, West Virginia, for
Appellees.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
David Harwood appeals the magistrate judge’s * order
dismissing his Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C. §§ 2671-2680
(2006) action against Defendants. We have reviewed the record
and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the
magistrate judge's order. See Harwood v. United States,
No. 1:08-cv-00060 (S.D.W. Va. July 23, 2009). 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
*
The parties consented to the jurisdiction of the
magistrate judge under 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (2006).
