        PER CURIAM:

               Shawn M. Rice appeals the district court’s order dismissing his claims under the

        Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C. §§ 1346(b), 2671-2680, for lack of subject matter

        jurisdiction, and denying his motion for the appointment of counsel. We have reviewed

        the record and discern no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order.

        Rice v. United States, No. 3:21-cv-00036-GMG (N.D.W. Va. Jan. 7, 2022). 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

                                                      2
