Case No. 13-cv-162-L(BLM)

ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA’S

MOTION TO DISMISS [Doc. # 10] 

On June 17, 2013, the United States filed a motion to dismiss Plaintiff Olwane Dunkley’s

claims of negligence and medical malpractice pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure

12(b)(1) because the Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction. [Doc. # 10.] The United States

argues it is immune from suit under the Federal Tort Claims Act’s Independent Contractor

Exception. On July 8, 2013, Plaintiff filed his response and consented to the dismissal of the

United States without prejudice. [Doc. # 15.]
