Decided: July 07, 2020

Before MOTZ and THACKER, Circuit Judges, and TRAXLER, Senior Circuit Judge.

Duane Joseph Johnson, Appellant Pro Se. Dennis Carl Barghaan, Jr., Assistant United States Attorney, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Alexandria, Virginia, for Appellees.

Duane Joseph Johnson appeals the district court's order dismissing his claims under the Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C. §§ 2671-2680 (2018), for lack of subject matter jurisdiction under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1), and granting summary judgment to the Defendants on his claims under Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388, 91 S.Ct. 1999, 29 L.Ed.2d 619 (1971). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Johnson v. United States, No. 1:16-cv-01097-CMH-TCB (E.D. Va. filed Sept. 24, 2019 & entered Sept. 25, 2019). 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.
