277 F. App'x 861

Arametta Porter v. United States

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

For the reasons stated in the district court’s Memorandum Opinion of September 6, 2007, we agree that the discretionary function exception of the Federal Tort Claims Act deprived the district court of jurisdiction over Count I of plaintiff’s complaint, and that plaintiffs Count II Resource Conservation and Recovery Act claim could not proceed because the Act does not provide for an award of damages in tort.

Plaintiff argues that the court abused its discretion by entering its September 6 dis-positive order without allowing her additional time to obtain the discovery necessary to establish her claims for relief. We find no abuse in this case.

The judgment of the district court is due to be, and is,

AFFIRMED.
