Before MURPHY, SMITH, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.
                            ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Former federal inmate Ray Henry Faison filed a complaint under the Federal
Tort Claims Act (FTCA) and Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Fed. Bureau
of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971), claiming inadequate medical care. The district
court1 dismissed the FTCA claim without prejudice, because Faison did not exhaust

      1
       The Honorable James M. Rosenbaum, Chief Judge, United States District
Court for the District of Minnesota, adopting the report and recommendations of the
Honorable Susan Richard Nelson, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of
his administrative remedies prior to filing his complaint, and dismissed the Bivens
claims with prejudice, because Faison failed to state an Eighth Amendment claim.
After de novo review, see LeMay v. U.S. Postal Serv., 450 F.3d 797, 799 (8th Cir.
2006) (lack of subject matter jurisdiction); Springdale Educ. Ass’n v. Springdale Sch.
Dist., 133 F.3d 649, 651 (8th Cir. 1998) (failure to state claim), we affirm for the
reasons set forth by the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We deny Faison’s request
for appointed counsel.
