PER CURIAM:

       Byron C. Briggs appeals the district court’s orders denying

his    motion   to   set   aside   the   Government’s      scope-of-employment

certification, see 28 U.S.C. § 2679(b)(1), (d)(1) (2012), and

granting the Government’s motion to dismiss his complaint.                   We

have     reviewed    the    record   and       find   no   reversible    error.

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district

court.     Briggs v. United States, No. 5:13-cv-00844-BR (E.D.N.C.

Jan. 6, 2015; Feb. 2, 2015).                 We dispense with oral argument

because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented

in the materials before this court and argument would not aid

the decisional process.



                                                                        AFFIRMED
