The Honorable Donald J. Stohr, United States District Judge for the Eastern

District of Missouri. 

-2-

Jerroll Sanders appeals the district court’s1

 order dismissing her Federal Tort

Claims Act (FTCA) lawsuit for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Having carefully

reviewed the record, see LeMay v. U.S. Postal Serv., 450 F.3d 797, 799 (8th Cir.

2006) (reviewing de novo dismissal for lack of subject matter jurisdiction), we agree

with the district court that Sanders failed to meet her burden to present specific facts

rebutting the Attorney General’s 28 U.S.C. § 2679(d) certification, see Lawson v.

United States, 103 F.3d 59, 60 (8th Cir. 1996), and we reject Sanders’s argument that

discovery and an evidentiary hearing were required in the instant case on the scope-ofemployment issue. The district court thus properly concluded it lacked subject matter

jurisdiction over Sanders’s lawsuit, given her admission that she had not filed an

administrative claim under the FTCA. See Bellecourt v. United States, 994 F.2d 427,

430 (8th Cir. 1993). 

Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. 47B. We also deny Sanders’s pending

motion.
