Per Curiam. Herbert D. Berkson, appeals the district court’s
dismissal of his complaint alleging a cause of action under the
Federal Tort Claims Act.
This appeal is dismissed as wholly without merit. Petitioner
fails to explain “how or why” the dismissal was “at odds with . .
. governing law” on any ground. See Ryan v. Royal Ins. Co. of Am.,
916 F.2d 731, 734 (1st Cir. 1990); Blake v. Pellegrino, 329 F.3d
43, 50 (1st Cir. 2003); Acevedo-Garcia v. Monroig, 351 F.3d 547,
561 (1st Cir. 2003). Furthermore, the district court properly
dismissed Petitioner’s complaint for the reasons stated in its
Order.
Dismissed with prejudice. Local R. 27(c).
