PER CURIAM:

       Therresseia Boland appeals the district court’s order granting summary judgment in

favor of the United States in Boland’s action under the Federal Tort Claims Act (“FTCA”),

28 U.S.C. §§ 1346, 2671-80. We agree with the district court that the statute of limitations

barred Boland’s claims under the FTCA, see 28 U.S.C. § 2401(b), and that she failed to

establish grounds for equitable tolling, see Raplee v. United States, 842 F.3d 328, 333 (4th

Cir. 2016). Accordingly, we affirm. Boland v. United States, No. 2:18-cv-00113-MSD-

LRL (E.D. Va. Dec. 11, 2019). 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.
