Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Charleston. Richard Mark Gergel, District Judge. (2:16-cv-02645-RMG) Before DUNCAN and HARRIS, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Benjamin A.

Beth Drake, United States Attorney, Terri Hearn Bailey, Assistant United States Attorney, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Edward Bennett appeals the district court's order granting summary judgment in favor of the United States and terminating Bennett's civil suit filed pursuant to the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA), 28 U.S.C. §§ 1346(b)(1), 2671 to 2680 (2012). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Bennett v. United States, No. 2:16-cv-02645-RMG (D.S.C. May 15, 2017). 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
