UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 15-1122
JEAN ELIZABETH KAUFMAN,
Plaintiff - Appellant,
v.
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Defendant - Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern
District of West Virginia, at Bluefield. David A. Faber, Senior
District Judge. (1:12-cv-00237)
Submitted: May 21, 2015 Decided: May 26, 2015
Before MOTZ, KING, and WYNN, Circuit Judges.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Jean Elizabeth Kaufman, Appellant Pro Se. John Fulton Gianola,
Stephen Michael Horn, Assistant United States Attorneys,
Charleston, West Virginia, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Jean Elizabeth Kaufman appeals the district court’s order
dismissing, after a bench trial, her civil action brought
pursuant to the Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C.A. §§ 1346(b),
2671–2680 (West 2006 & Supp. 2014). The district court
dismissed Kaufman’s complaint because it found that the United
States had not waived its sovereign immunity to suit for the
claims raised by Kaufman and, thus, that it lacked subject
matter jurisdiction over Kaufman’s claims. We have reviewed the
record and discern no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm
for the reasons stated by the district court. Kaufman v. United
States, No. 1:12-cv-00237 (S.D.W. Va. Jan. 7, 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
