Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) employee Scotty White appeals following the district court’s 1 dismissal of his pro se Federal Torts Claim Act and civil rights action against six VA employees.

Moore, 846 F.3d 289, 292 (8th Cir. 2017) (standard of review).

The judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
