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
