Federal prisoner George Nwizuzu appeals the district court’s 1 dismissal of his Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) suit. We affirm.

Nwizuzu claimed that while a federal corrections officer was packing his property, the officer negligently failed to document and thus caused the loss of a pair of Nwizuzu’s work boots. We conclude that the alleged conduct would fall under the 28 U.S.C. § 2680(c) exception to the FTCA waiver of sovereign immunity because it arose out of the detention of Nwizuzu’s property before he was placed in administrative segregation. See Kosak v. United States, 465 U.S. 848, 854, 104 S.Ct. 1519, 79 L.Ed.2d 860 (1984).

The judgment is affirmed.
