ANDRE JAMAAL GUYTON,
Plaintiff - Appellant,
v.
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Defendant - Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at
Anderson. Mary G. Lewis, District Judge. (8:18-cv-00609-MGL)
Submitted: September 23, 2021 Decided: November 10, 2021
Before QUATTLEBAUM and RUSHING, Circuit Judges, and TRAXLER, Senior Circuit
Judge.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Andre Jamaal Guyton, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Andre Jamaal Guyton appeals the district court’s order accepting the
recommendation of the magistrate judge and dismissing Guyton’s claim against the
United States under the Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C. §§ 1346(b), 2671-2680
(FTCA), for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. See Abbott v. Pastides, 900 F.3d 160, 175
n.8 (4th Cir. 2018) (holding that we are not bound by the label the district court places on
its disposition). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error in the district
court’s conclusion that the FTCA barred Guyton’s claim. Accordingly, we affirm. We
deny Guyton’s motion to appoint counsel and 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
