OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Raleigh, North Carolina, for
Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant appeals from the district court's orders denying re-

lief on his medical malpractice claim filed under the Federal Tort

Claims Act, 28 U.S.C.A. §§ 2671-2680 (West 1994), and denying his

motion to reconsider. We have reviewed the record and the district

court's opinions and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we
affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Barrett v. United
States, No. CA-93-620-5-F (E.D.N.C. Jan. 13, 1995, Jan. 18, 1995,

Feb. 7, 1995). 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
