OPINION

GARWOOD, Circuit Judge:

Basil Zimzores, plaintiff-appellant in this Federal Tort Claims Act suit for damages for alleged negligent medical misdiagnoses of his condition by the Veterans Administration, appeals the district court’s take-nothing judgment rendered against him following a bench trial. Appellant’s sole claim on appeal is that the district court erroneously set aside a prior interlocutory summary judgment in his favor on the issue of liability only. Finding this contention to be wholly without merit, we affirm.
