PER CURIAM.

Former federal inmate Ray Henry Faison filed a complaint under the Federal

Tort Claims Act (FTCA) and Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Fed. Bureau

of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971), claiming inadequate medical care. The district

court1

 dismissed the FTCA claim without prejudice, because Faison did not exhaust

his administrative remedies prior to filing his complaint, and dismissed the Bivens

claims with prejudice, because Faison failed to state an Eighth Amendment claim.

After de novo review, see LeMay v. U.S. Postal Serv., 450 F.3d 797, 799 (8th Cir.

2006) (lack of subject matter jurisdiction); Springdale Educ. Ass’n v. Springdale Sch.

Dist., 133 F.3d 649, 651 (8th Cir. 1998) (failure to state claim), we affirm for the

reasons set forth by the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We deny Faison’s request

for appointed counsel.
