AFFIRMED.

Before PHILLIPS, NIEMEYER, and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

1

Appellant appeals from the district court's order dismissing his tax refund suit and claim under the Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C. Secs. 2671-2680 (1988). Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Smith v. Internal Revenue Service, No. CA-92-481-R (E.D. Va. Dec. 4, 1992). We deny Smith's motion for oral argument and we dispense with 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
