   PER CURIAM:

Michael Troy Foreman appeals the district court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying relief on his complaint filed pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388, 91 S.Ct. 1999, 29 L.Ed.2d 619 (1971), and the Federal Tort Claims Act (“FTCA”), 28 U.S.C. §§ 2671-2680 (2000). Foreman also argues that his claims should be construed as claims pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000). However, Foreman’s claims were not filed under § 1983, and there are no exceptional circumstances to merit the consideration of this new argument on appeal. See Muth v. United States, 1 F.3d 246, 250 (4th Cir.1993). With respect to Foreman’s Bivens and FTCA claims, we have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Foreman v. Fed. Corr. Inst., No. 5:04-cv-01260 (S.D.W.Va. Mar. 30, 2006). 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.
