                             _______________________

Before RADER and MOORE, Circuit Judges, and YEAKEL, District Judge. *

PER CURIAM.

      Tyrone Hurt appeals the judgment of the Court of Federal Claims dismissing his

claims for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, Hurt v. United States, No. 05-CV-8 (Fed.

Cl. Jan. 24, 2007). We affirm.

      Summary affirmance of a case “is appropriate, inter alia, when the position of one

party is so clearly correct as a matter of law that no substantial question regarding the

outcome of the appeal exists.” Joshua v. United States, 17 F.3d 378, 380 (Fed. Cir.

1994) (summarily affirming the Court of Federal Claims’ dismissal of a complaint).

Having reviewed the papers and Hurt's brief, it is clear that the trial court correctly

      *
             Honorable Lee Yeakel, District Judge, United States District Court for the
Western District of Texas, sitting by designation.
concluded that it lacked jurisdiction over Hurt's case and dismissal was warranted.

Thus, because no substantial question exists regarding the outcome of Hurt's appeal,

the court summarily affirms the judgment of the Court of Federal Claims dismissing

Hurt's case.

                                       COSTS

      Each party shall bear its own costs.
