PER CURIAM: Lewis E. Adams appeals the district court’s order dismissing his claim for damages filed under the Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C. §§ 2671 - 2680 (1994). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accord- ingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Adams v. United States, No. CA-97-706-7 (W.D. Va. Mar. 3, 1999). We dis- pense 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
