PER CURIAM:

     Teresa     Ford    appeals   the   district    court’s     order    entering

judgment after a bench trial in favor of Appellee on Ford’s

claim under the Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C. §§ 1346(b),

2761-2680 (2012).        We have reviewed the parties’ briefs and the

record on appeal and find no reversible error.                  Accordingly, we

affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.                     Ford v.

United     States,     No.   5:12-cv-00152-RLV-DSC        (W.D.N.C.     May   14,

2015).     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.

                                                                         AFFIRMED

                                        3
