PER CURIAM: Larry Blakney appeals the district court’s order dismissing under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii) his civil action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and 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. Blakney v. Hartsville Police Dep’t, No. 5:22-ct-03245-M (E.D.N.C. Feb. 10, 2023). 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.
