PER CURIAM:
Michael E. Hodge appeals the district court’s orders
dismissing his civil action under Bivens v. Six Unknown Named
Agents of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971), and the
Federal Tort Claims Act for injuries that he received as a result
of surgery performed on his right foot. We have reviewed the
record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the
reasoning of the district court. See Hodge v. United States, No.
1:05-cv-00707-TSE (E.D. Va. July 11, 2005 & Aug. 11, 2006). We
dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions
are adequately presented in the materials before the court and
argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
