PER CURIAM: John W. Shade, III, appeals the district court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and dismissing, under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B), Shade’s amended civil complaint in which he raised claims pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971), and the Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C. §§ 1346, 2671-2680. We have reviewed the record and discern no reversible error. * Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. See Shade v. United States, No. 1:23-cv- 00192 (S.D. W. Va. Oct. 29, 2024). 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

* We deny Shade’s motions to appoint counsel.
