PER CURIAM:
Therresseia Boland appeals the district court’s order granting summary judgment in
favor of the United States in Boland’s action under the Federal Tort Claims Act (“FTCA”),
28 U.S.C. §§ 1346, 2671-80. We agree with the district court that the statute of limitations
barred Boland’s claims under the FTCA, see 28 U.S.C. § 2401(b), and that she failed to
establish grounds for equitable tolling, see Raplee v. United States, 842 F.3d 328, 333 (4th
Cir. 2016). Accordingly, we affirm. Boland v. United States, No. 2:18-cv-00113-MSD-
LRL (E.D. Va. Dec. 11, 2019). 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
