PER CURIAM:
Shirley Boatwright appeals the district court’s order dismissing her claim under the
Federal Tort Claims Act for lack of subject matter jurisdiction for failure to exhaust
administrative remedies. We have reviewed the record and discern no reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Boatwright v. Valdez, No. 3:25-cv-00352-
RCY (E.D. Va. Feb. 20, 2026). 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
