Joseph Glover, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. James Michael Sullivan, Assistant United States Attorney, Charlotte, North Carolina, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Joseph Glover, Jr., appeals the district court's order dis-

missing his suit under the Federal Tort Claims Act,

(1994), as barred under the statute of limitations. 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. Glover v. HHS, No. CA-97-107-3-P (W.D.N.C. Aug. 7, 1997). 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 in the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
