appeals

the

district

court’s order denying reconsideration of the district court’s
previous order dismissing his complaint brought pursuant to the
Federal Tort Claims Act.
no reversible error.

We have reviewed the record and find

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons

stated by the district court.

Muhammad v. United States, No.

5:11-ct-03126-FL (E.D.N.C. Aug. 1, 2013). *

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

*

To the extent Muhammad seeks to appeal the underlying
order dismissing his complaint, his appeal is timely only as to
the denial of his motion for reconsideration, which is properly
construed as a motion pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b).
See
Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(4)(A); see generally Dove v. CODESCO, 569
F.2d 807, 809 (4th Cir. 1978).
