2 PER CURIAM:

Byron C. Briggs appeals the district court’s orders denying

his motion to set aside the Government’s scope-of-employment

certification, see

(b)(1), (d)(1) (2012), and

granting the Government’s motion to dismiss his complaint. We

have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district

court. Briggs v. United States, No. 5:13-cv-00844-BR (E.D.N.C.

Jan. 6, 2015; Feb. 2, 2015). 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
