IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT
No. 00-50608 Summary Calendar
ROZETHIA EVANS, Individually and as Next Friend of Eric Evans, a Minor Child, Plaintiff-Appellant, versus UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Defendant-Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas (USDC No. W-99-CV-156) _______________________________________________________ February 14, 2001 Before REAVLEY, DeMOSS and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:* Plaintiff-Appellant Rozethia Evans appeals the district court’s order dismissing her negligence claim and entering summary judgment against her on her
* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the Court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4. claim of intentional infliction of emotional distress. Because Evans’ negligence claim arises out of her husband’s assault and battery, it is barred by 28 U.S.C. § 2680(h). Dixon and Lynch undertook nothing more than to perform their military responsibility. Evans did not present sufficient evidence to support her claim of intentional infliction of emotion distress, which she has not pursued on appeal.
Affirmed.
