PER CURIAM:

                Kevin   C.   Umphreyville     appeals    the     district    court’s

order and judgment dismissing his complaint brought pursuant to

the Federal Tort Claims Act.              We have reviewed the record and

find       no   reversible    error.     Accordingly,      we     affirm    for    the

reasons stated by the district court. *                  Umphreyville v. USDC,

WDVA, No. 5:12-cv-00635-F (E.D.N.C. June 12, 2013).                      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




       *
       Although this court has been named as a defendant-appellee
in this action, we exercise our discretion to decide the appeal
pursuant to the Rule of Necessity.    United States v. Will, 

, 211-17,
