PER CURIAM: Michael Louis Hepstall appeals the district court’s order accepting the magistrate judge’s recommendation to grant Defendant summary judgment on Hepstall’s claims under the Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C. §§ 2671-80. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See Hepstall v. United States, No. 8:20-cv-00877-JD (D.S.C. filed Aug. 22, 2022 & entered Aug. 23, 2022). 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
