PER CURIAM.

Larry Craigmyle appeals the district court’s1

 adverse grant of summary

judgment to the United States in this medical malpractice action brought under the

Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C. §§ 2671-80. Following our careful review, we

affirm because Craigmyle’s complaint allegations demonstrate that he knew, or in the

exercise of reasonable diligence should have known, the cause and existence of his

injury more than two years before he filed his administrative claim. See T. L. ex rel.

Ingram v. United States, 443 F.3d 956, 961-62 (8th Cir. 2006) (medical malpractice

claim against United States is jurisdictionally barred unless administrative claim was

filed with appropriate agency within two years after plaintiff actually knew, or in

exercise of reasonable diligence should have known, cause and existence of his

injury); Osborn v. United States, 918 F.2d 724, 729-730 (8th Cir. 1990) (standard of

review). 

Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
