        PER CURIAM:

               Joseph Valerio appeals the district court’s orders granting the Government’s motion

        to dismiss or for summary judgment and dismissing his amended complaint brought under

        the Federal Tort Claims Act, denying his request for leave to conduct discovery, and

        denying his Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion to alter or amend judgment. We have reviewed

        the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by

        the district court. Valerio v. United States, No. 5:20-cv-00185-JPB-JPM (N.D.W. Va.

        May 19 & June 28, 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
