    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

    No. 06-7320

    JOHNNY M. BROWN,
    Plaintiff - Appellant,
    versus
    UNITED STATES ATTORNEYS OFFICE, Washington,
    D.C., Individually and in their official
    capacities; JEAN B. HUDSON, Assistant United
    States Attorney, Charlottesville, Virginia,
    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    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.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    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

    courts

    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 Attorneys 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.
