PER CURIAM:
Senn Freight Lines Inc. appeals the district court’s order granting the motion to
dismiss its civil action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P.
12(b)(1). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we
affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See Senn Freight Lines Inc. v. United
States, No. 8:18-cv-00226-TMC (D.S.C. Dec. 18, 2018); see also Pornomo v. United
States, 814 F.3d 681, 690 (4th Cir. 2016) (concluding district court had no jurisdiction over
challenge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2342(3)(A) (2012)). 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
