Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

          Evelyn   Coulter   appeals    the   district   court’s   order

dismissing her Federal Tort Claims Act action for lack of subject

matter jurisdiction, Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1).       We have reviewed

the record and find no reversible error.       Accordingly, we affirm

for the reasons stated by the district court.            See Coulter v.

United States, No. CA-02-1645 (E.D. Va. Apr. 10, 2003).              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
