GUS HNARAKIS,

                                               Plaintiff - Appellant,

          versus


UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

                                                Defendant - Appellee.

Gus Hnarakis, Appellant Pro Se. James A. Frederick, Assistant
United States Attorney, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

               Gus    Hnarakis    appeals      the   district       court’s    order

substituting the United States as the Defendant and dismissing

Hnarakis’s action for return of property, under the Federal Tort

Claims Act.          We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

error.     Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the

district court.         Hnarakis v. United States, No. 8:06-cv-00557-DKC

(D. Md. Apr. 11, 2006).          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
