PER CURIAM:
Sara Elizabeth Lilly appeals from the district court’s order
granting the United States’ motion to dismiss, under Fed. R. Civ.
P. 12(b)(6), her complaint filed under the Federal Tort Claims Act,
28 U.S.C.A. § 1346(b) (West Supp. 2001), 28 U.S.C.A. §§ 2671-2680
(West 1994 & Supp. 2001). We have reviewed the parties’ briefs,
the joint appendix, and the district court’s opinion and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the
district court. Lilly v. United States, No. CA-00-1006-2 (S.D.W.
Va. May 11, 2001). We dispense with oral argument because the
facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-
rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
AFFIRMED
