Lawrence Eliot Mattison appeals the district courts order granting Defendants motion to dismiss and dismissing Mattisons claims brought pursuant to the Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C. §§ 1346, 2671-80. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district courts order and judgment for the alternate reasons stated by the district court.

Mattison v. United States, No. 4:18-cv-00061-RGD-DEM (E.D. Va. Feb. 24, 2020). 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

FOOTNOTE
. In its conclusion that Mattison was judicially estopped from pursuing his claims, the district court mistakenly “focus[ed] exclusively on whether [Mattison] knew of the factual basis for [his] legal claims when [he] filed for bankruptcy” and, therefore, “failed to give full effect to the principle that without bad faith, there can be no judicial estoppel.” Martineau v. Wier, 934 F.3d 385, 394 (4th Cir. 2019) (internal alteration and quotation marks omitted). However, the court provided several additional grounds for dismissal, and we affirm on those alternate grounds. PER CURIAM:
