Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
Bacilio A. Amorrortu appeals the dismissal of his claims for lack of subject matter jurisdiction pursuant to Fed. R.CrvP. 12(b)(1). For the reasons stated by the district court, we conclude that Amorrortu has failed to allege a sufficient basis for jurisdiction under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act. See 28 U.S.C. § 1605.
Accordingly, we AFFIRM.
Pursuant to 5th Cir R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
