PER CURIAM:

Shirley Boatwright appeals the district court’s order dismissing her claim under the Federal Tort Claims Act for lack of subject matter jurisdiction for failure to exhaust administrative remedies. We have reviewed the record and discern no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Boatwright v. Valdez, No. 3:25-cv-00352- RCY (E.D. Va. Feb. 20, 2026). 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
