United States of America, * * [UNPUBLISHED] Appellee. * ___________ Submitted: December 7, 2004 Filed: December 15, 2004 ___________ Before BYE, MELLOY, and COLLOTON, Circuit Judges. ___________ PER CURIAM. Thomas Lewis appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary judgment in his medical malpractice action brought under the Federal Tort Claims Act,
28 U.S.C. § 2671, et seq. After careful de novo review of the record, see Bellecourt v. United States,
994 F.2d 427, 430 (8th Cir. 1993), we conclude that summary judgment was not granted prematurely, and that the issue of costs is premature as no costs have been awarded.
