The United States appeals the district court's judgment in favor of Travelers Indemnity Company of Illinois, in Travelers' action pursuant to the Federal Tort Claims Act ("FTCA"), 28 U.S.C. §§ 2671 et seq. The district court lacked jurisdiction because the government conduct at issue is covered by the FTCA's discretionary function exception, 28 U.S.C. § 2680(a). See National Union Fire Insurance v. United States, 115 F.3d 1415 (9th Cir. 1997).
