Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

           Angus    Whitney     appeals   the       district   court’s   order

granting     the   Government’s    motion      to    dismiss   for    lack    of

jurisdiction.       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.      Whitney v. United States Navy, No. 2:09-cv-

00201-RAJ-TEM (E.D. Va. July 28, 2009).               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.

                                                                     DISMISSED
