1Opinion of the Court
BOOCHEVER, Circuit Judge:
This appeal involves a claim against the United States Postal Service for failure to deliver third class mail within the time promised by a Postal Service employee. We affirm the dismissal because under the facts as alleged in the complaint the Postal Service cannot be estopped from denying the authority of the employee to make the representations.
Dr. Rider appeals from the dismissal of his complaint for failure to state a claim. We review such a dismissal de novo. Western Reserve Oil & Gas Co. v. New, 765 F.2d 1428, 1430 (9th Cir.1985), cert. denied, 474 U.S. 1056,…
