KANNE, Circuit Judge.
While visiting a friend stationed at the United States Army Post at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, civilian Robert Del Raso fell off a horse and allegedly injured his back. Believing that his fall was caused by the failure of a stable employee to tighten his saddle, Del Raso sued the United States under the Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1346(b). The district court granted summary judgment in favor of the government because it found that Del Raso released the United States of liability for the negligence of the stable’s employee. We affirm.
