United States Court of Appeals For the Eighth Circuit ___________________________ No. 23-3668 ___________________________ Gayla Dawn Weber lllllllllllllllllllllPlaintiff - Appellant v. United States of America lllllllllllllllllllllDefendant - Appellee ____________ Appeal from United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri ____________ Submitted: May 23, 2024 Filed: May 30, 2024 [Unpublished] ____________ Before SMITH, BENTON, and GRASZ, Circuit Judges. ____________ PER CURIAM.

In this action under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA), former federal employee Gayla Dawn Weber sought recovery for a work-related injury. She appeals after the district court1 dismissed her action for lack of jurisdiction. After careful review of the record and the parties’ arguments on appeal, we conclude the district court properly determined it lacked jurisdiction to review Weber’s claim. See Compart’s Boar Store, Inc. v. United States, 829 F.3d 600, 604 (8th Cir. 2016) (reviewing de novo grant of motion to dismiss under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1)); see also 5 U.S.C. § 8116(c) (Federal Employees Compensation Act (FECA) is exclusive remedy for workplace injuries suffered by federal employees; liability of United States under FECA is exclusive, and instead of, all other liability providing entitlement to damages, including under a “Federal tort liability statute”); Sw. Marine, Inc. v. Gizoni, 502 U.S. 81, 90 (1991) (“FECA contains an ‘unambiguous and comprehensive’ provision barring any judicial review of the Secretary of Labor’s determination of FECA coverage. Consequently, the courts have no jurisdiction over FTCA claims where the Secretary determines that FECA applies.”).

Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. ______________________________

The Honorable Willie J. Epps, Jr., United States Magistrate Judge for the Western District of Missouri, to whom the case was referred for final disposition by consent of the parties pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c).
