PER CURIAM:

Michael Shawn Evans appeals the district court’s order 

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying 

relief on his Federal Tort Claims Act complaint. We have 

reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, 

we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Evans 

v. United States, No. 3:15-cv-00064-GMG-RWT (N.D.W. Va. Sept. 2, 

2016). We deny Evans’ motions to compel and to appoint counsel. 

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
