Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

      Edward Bennett appeals the district court’s order granting summary judgment in

favor of the United States and terminating Bennett’s civil suit filed pursuant to the

Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA), 28 U.S.C. §§ 1346(b)(1), 2671 to 2680 (2012). We

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

reasons stated by the district court. Bennett v. United States, No. 2:16-cv-02645-RMG

(D.S.C. May 15, 2017). 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
