George D. Mace, Jr., Plaintiff-appellant, v. United States of America, Defendant-appellee, 42 F.3d 1400 (9th Cir. 1994)

MEMORANDUM^** 

George D. Mace brought this action against the United States under the Federal Tort Claims Act. 28 U.S.C. §§ 1346(b), 2671-80. In it he asserts that the Federal Aviation Administration tortiously revoked his aircraft mechanic's certificate. At root the basis of his action is that the FAA has no authority to revoke certificates. The district court dismissed the action on grounds that it failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted.

In this case, the determinations which indicate a failure to state a claim also indicate that the district court was without jurisdiction under the Federal Tort Claims Act. See Roundtree v. United States, No. 93-35792, slip op. ---- at ---- (9th Cir. ______, 1994), which was filed on the same day as the filing of this memorandum disposition. Therefore, we affirm the dismissal of the complaint.

AFFIRMED.
