Belinda U. Corpuz and Gary Abrams appeal pro se the district court's dismissal of their Bivens action seeking damages against a federal hospital and several federal employees. We affirm.

McCool, 782 F.2d 1470, 1471-72 (9th Cir. 1986).

AFFIRMED.

The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R.App. P. 34(a); 9th Cir. R. 34-4
