Before N EWMAN, SCHALL , and CHEN, Circuit Judges.
P ER CURIAM .
Richard G. Fries appeals the dismissal of these ac-
tions by the Court of Federal Claims, as not within that
court’s jurisdiction, or for failure to state a claim on which
relief can be granted.
Appeal No. 2016-1242 relates to Mr. Fries’ contention
that an unnamed third party was the victim of a dental
scam, and requests damages in the amount of 2.5 million
dollars. Such a cause of action, sounding in tort, is not
within the jurisdiction of the Court of Federal Claims.
Appeal No. 2016-1304 concerns various allegations
regarding drug testing, searches and seizures, and Mr.
Fries’ credit rating. Again, the Court of Federal Claims
correctly held that Mr. Fries has not stated a cause within
the jurisdiction of that court.
