PER CURIAM:
Lenir Richardson appeals a district court order
dismissing without prejudice her complaint. Insofar as Richardson
raised a claim against two hospitals under 42 U.S.C. § 1395dd(a)
(2000), we find Richardson failed to state a claim because she
failed to allege the harm suffered as a result of the alleged
violations of § 1395dd(a). With respect to the remainder of her
claims, which were torts controlled by state law, the district
court did not have jurisdiction. Accordingly, we affirm. 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
