PER CURIAM:

     James Scott Sr. appeals the district court’s order granting

summary judgment on his claims under the Federal Tort Claims Act,

28 U.S.C.A. § 1346 (West 1993 & Supp. 2000) and the Privacy Act, 5

U.S.C.A. § 552a (West 1996 & Supp. 2000), and dismissing his state

law claims.   We have reviewed the record and the district court’s

opinion and find no reversible error.     Accordingly, we affirm on

the reasoning of the district court.    See Scott v. Veterans Admin.

Medical Ctr., No. CA-99-152-4 (E.D. Va. Aug. 2, 2000). 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.
