     Charles Edwards appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary
judgment in his suit under the Federal Tort Claims Act. After careful review of the

      1
        The Honorable Joe J. Volpe, United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern
District of Arkansas, to whom the case was referred for final disposition by consent
of the parties pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c).
record below, the parties’ submissions on appeal, and the issues properly before us,
see Peterson v. Kopp, 754 F.3d 594, 598 (8th Cir. 2014) (de novo review of grant of

      The judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
