1Opinion of the Court
ANDERSON, Circuit Judge:
This case arises out of the service of an arrest warrant on the wrong man. The appellants contend that law enforcement officers failed to properly ascertain the identity of the person on whom the arrest warrant was served. Because we conclude that the appellants’ claim is barred by the Federal Tort Claims Act’s discretionary function exception, we affirm the district court’s dismissal of this case for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
