PER CURIAM:

Alexander Matthews appeals the district court’s order 

granting the United States’ motion to dismiss his Federal Tort 

Claims Act suit for lack of jurisdiction. We have reviewed the 

record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for 

the reasons stated by the district court. Matthews v. United 

States, No. 1:12-cv-01473-LO-TCB (E.D. Va. Jan. 13, 2015). We 

dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal 

contentions are adequately presented in the materials before 

this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
