UNITED STATES ATTORNEY’S OFFICE, Washington,

D.C., Individually and in their official

capacities; JEAN B. HUDSON, Assistant United

Individually and in their official capacities,

Defendants - Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern

District of Virginia, at Alexandria. Claude M. Hilton, Senior

District Judge. (1:06-cv-00582-CMH)

Submitted: December 20, 2006 Decided: January 9, 2007

Before NIEMEYER, WILLIAMS, and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Johnny M. Brown, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Johnny M. Brown appeals the district court’s order

dismissing this action brought pursuant to the Federal Tort Claims

Act. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss

the appeal for the reasons stated by the district court. Brown v.

United States Attorney’s Office, No. 1:06-cv-00582-CMH (E.D. Va.,

filed July 10, 2006; entered July 11, 2006). We deny the motion

for appointment of counsel and 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.*

DISMISSED

*

The district court incorrectly identified Brown as a Virginia

state prisoner. Brown is a federal prisoner who must challenge his

conviction and sentence in a motion filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §

2255 (2000). The district court is directed to issue an amended

order reflecting these corrections.
