ORDER
J. RANDAL HALL, District Judge.
This matter is now before the Court on the United States’ Motion to Dismiss. (Doc. 20.) Plaintiff Benertha Spencer claims she suffered injuries when an elevator malfunctioned at the Veterans Affairs (“VA”) Medical Center in Augusta, Georgia. She brings this action under the Federal Tort Claims Act (“FTCA”), 28 U.S.C. § 2671 et seq., alleging negligence on the part of the United States due to the VA’s failure to exercise the required level of care to keep its premises safe and its delegation of a non-delegable duty. (Compl., Doc. 1, ¶ 9.)
