Kathryn Matsch, Appellant Pro Se. Fenita Morris Shepard, OFFICE OF
THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Kathryn Matsch appeals the district court’s order granting

summary judgment to Defendants on Matsch’s claim under the Federal

Tort Claims Act.   We have reviewed the record and the district

court’s opinion and find no reversible error.      Accordingly, we

affirm on the reasoning of the district court.      See Matsch v.

United States, No. CA-98-443-5-2BR (E.D.N.C. June 16, 1999).    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
