Defendants - Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Baltimore. William M. Nickerson, Senior District Judge. (CA-02-4102-1-WMN)

Submitted: September 17, 2004 Decided: December 21, 2004

Before LUTTIG, WILLIAMS, and KING, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

James A. Butler, Appellant Pro Se. Matthew Wayne Mellady, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Annapolis Junction, Maryland, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

James A. Butler appeals the district court’s order

dismissing his Federal Tort Claims Act suit. We have reviewed the

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

the reasons stated by the district court. See Butler v. Warden,

No. CA-02-4102-1-WMN (D. Md. Oct. 24, 2003). We dispense with oral

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately

presented in the materials before the court and argument would not

aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
