PER CURIAM:

Bruce Anthony Dillard appeals the district court’s order 

adopting the recommendation of the magistrate judge dismissing 

Dillard’s complaint pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1). We 

have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. 

Accordingly, we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis and

affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Dillard v. 

United States, No. 3:16-cv-00009-GMG-MJA (N.D. W. Va. June 22, 

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
