Before DIAZ and THACKER, Circuit Judges, and DAVIS, Senior Circuit
Judge.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Robert A. Zander, Appellant Pro Se. Joan Brodish Childs, Assistant
United States Attorney, Greensboro, North Carolina, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Robert A. Zander appeals the district court’s order accepting
the magistrate judge’s recommendation and denying relief on
Zander’s action filed pursuant to the Federal Tort Claims Act, and
a subsequent order denying reconsideration. Zander also appeals
the magistrate judge’s order granting the Government’s motion for
a protective order. We have reviewed the record and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated
by the district court. Zander v. United States, No. 1:12-cv-
00700-WO-JEP (M.D.N.C. Sept. 4, 2015; Mar. 31, 2016; July 7, 2016).
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
