        PER CURIAM:

              Larry Blakney appeals the district court’s order dismissing under 28 U.S.C.

        § 1915(e)(2)(B) as frivolous his complaint brought pursuant to the Federal Tort Claims

        Act. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm

        the district court’s order. Blakney v. United States, No. 5:22-ct-03346-D (E.D.N.C. Nov.

        23, 2022). We deny Blakney’s motion to appoint a guardian ad litem and 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
