PER CURIAM:

           H. Leon Merritt appeals the district court’s orders

dismissing his tort case and denying reconsideration.              We have

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

affirm   for   the   reasons   stated   by   the   district   court.   See

Merritt v. United States, No. CA-04-442-1 (E.D. Va. filed June 16

and entered June 18, 2004; filed July 16 and entered July 19,

2004).   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
