PER CURIAM:

Umar Adeyola appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his amended
complaint filed pursuant to the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA), 28 U.S.C. §§ 1346(b),
2671-80, and Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S.
388 (1971).
*
We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Particularly, the
district court did not err in determining that Adeyola’s Eighth Amendment claims
presented a new Bivens context and in declining to extend the Bivens remedy to his claims.
Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment. Adeyola v. Reddy, No. 5:22-ct -
03008-FL (E.D.N.C. Feb. 21, 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

*
Adeyola has filed a motion to place this case in abeyance. We deny that motion.
