Andre Jamaal Guyton, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

       Andre Jamaal Guyton appeals the district court’s order accepting the

recommendation of the magistrate judge and dismissing Guyton’s claim against the

United States under the Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C. §§ 1346(b), 2671-2680

(FTCA), for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. See Abbott v. Pastides, 900 F.3d 160, 175

n.8 (4th Cir. 2018) (holding that we are not bound by the label the district court places on

its disposition). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error in the district

court’s conclusion that the FTCA barred Guyton’s claim. Accordingly, we affirm. We

deny Guyton’s motion to appoint counsel 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
