The United States is the only proper federal defendant because federal agencies cannot be sued for 

tort claims. See FDIC v. Meyer, 510 U.S. 471, 476 (1994); see also Pink v. Modoc Indian Health 

Project, Inc., 157 F.3d 1185, 1188 (9th Cir. 1998) (“Congress did not expressly authorize suits 

against federal agencies under the Federal Tort Claims Act.”).
