PER CURIAM:


A review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal from that court's order dismissing this suit for lack of jurisdiction and failure to state a claim is without merit. Because the dispositive issues recently have been decided authoritatively, we dispense with oral argument and affirm the judgment below on the reasoning of the district court. Ross v. United States Federal Government, C/A No. 86-0646 (S.D.W. Va. March 17, 1987).

AFFIRMED.
