Acevedo Valle Atilano, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Acevedo Valle Atilano appeals from the district court’s order

dismissing without prejudice his action filed pursuant to the Fed-

eral Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C. §§ 2671-2680 (1994).   Our review of

the record and the district court’s opinion discloses no reversible

error.   Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district

court.   See Atilano v. United States, No. CA-99-535-2 (E.D. Va.

Nov. 4, 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
