PER CURIAM:

Eva Dawson appeals the district court’s order entering

judgment in favor of the United States in her medical malpractice

action under the Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C. §§ 2671-2680

(2000). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district

court. See Dawson v. United States, No. 2:04-cv-01027-DCN (D.S.C.

Sept. 26, 2007). We dispense with oral argument because the facts

and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials

before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
