PER CURIAM:
Sheila H. Kershaw appeals the district court’s order
dismissing her complaint with prejudice for lack of subject matter
jurisdiction pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1) based on the
doctrine of res judicata. We have reviewed the record and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the
district court. See Kershaw v. Commissioner, No. CA-02-131-1-T
(W.D.N.C. Aug. 28, 2002). We dispense with oral argument because
the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the
materials before the court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
AFFIRMED
