PER CURIAM.
Audrey Locke appeals the district court’s 1 dismissal of her emotional-distress
claims brought under the Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2671, et seq. Having
carefully reviewed the record and the parties’ arguments on appeal, we agree with the
district court that it lacked jurisdiction over those claims. Thus, the court properly
dismissed her complaint. See 28 U.S.C. § 2680(h); Sheridan v. United States, 487
U.S. 392, 399 (1988); Stratmeyer v. Engberg, 649 N.W.2d 921, 925 (S.D. 2002).
