Lois R. HALL, et al., Plaintiffs, Appellants, v. HANSCOM AIR FORCE BASE, et al., Defendants, Appellees.
    No. 02-2090.
    United States Court of Appeals, First Circuit.
    Aug. 10, 2003.
    Lois R. Hall on brief pro se.
    Gina Y. Walcott-Torres, Assistant United States Attorney, and Michael J. Sullivan, United States Attorney, on brief for appellees.
    
      Before BOUDIN, Chief Judge, LYNCH and HOWARD, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

After a thorough review of the record and of the parties’ submissions, we allow the appellees’ motion for summary disposition. We affirm the lower court’s dismissal on the ground that plaintiffs/appellants failed to satisfy the jurisdictional requirement that they first submit their claim to the appropriate agency in writing. See 28 U.S.C. § 2401(b); Gonzalez v. United States, 284 F.3d 281, 288 (1st Cir.2002)

(“Pursuant to the FTCA, a tort claim against the United States is ‘forever barred’ unless it is presented in writing to the appropriate federal agency within two years after the claim accrues.”) (quoting 28 U.S.C. § 2401(b)).

Affirmed. See 1st Cir. Loe. R. 27(c).
