    Before NEWMAN, SCHALL, and CHEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.
    Richard G. Fries appeals the dismissal of these ac-
tions by the Court of Federal Claims, as not within that
court’s jurisdiction, or for failure to state a claim on which
relief can be granted.
    Appeal No. 2016-1242 relates to Mr. Fries’ contention
that an unnamed third party was the victim of a dental
scam, and requests damages in the amount of 2.5 million
dollars. Such a cause of action, sounding in tort, is not
within the jurisdiction of the Court of Federal Claims.
    Appeal No. 2016-1304 concerns various allegations
regarding drug testing, searches and seizures, and Mr.
Fries’ credit rating. Again, the Court of Federal Claims
correctly held that Mr. Fries has not stated a cause within
the jurisdiction of that court.
FRIES   v. US                   3

   The dismissals are
                    AFFIRMED.
   No costs.
