Affirmed as modified by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Keith William DeBlasio, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Keith Williams DeBlasio appeals from the district court's
order dismissing his claims against the United States under the
Federal Torts Claims Act. We have reviewed the record and the dis-
trict court's opinion and find no reversible error in its dismissal
of DeBlasio's action. We therefore affirm on the reasoning of the
district court, DeBlasio v. United States, No. CA-96-3640-JFM (D.
Md. Dec. 4, 1996), but modify to reflect that the dismissal of all
claims is without prejudice for DeBlasio to file a complaint
against the appropriate individuals.* We dispense with oral argu-
ment because the facts and legal contentions are adequately pre-
sented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid
the decisional process.
AFFIRMED AS MODIFIED
*
We also deny DeBlasio's motion for appointment of counsel.
