MEMORANDUM OPINION & ORDER
Granting Defendants’ Motion To Dismiss
URBINA, District Judge.
This matter comes before the court upon defendants’ motion to dismiss; plaintiff’s memorandum in opposition; defendants’ reply; 1 plaintiff’s reply and defendants’ sur-reply. 2 The court concludes that the defendants’ motion to dismiss shall be granted because this court lacks subject-matter jurisdiction to hear this controversy as the plaintiff has not met the “presentment” requirements contained in the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) 28 U.S.C. Sections 2401(b) and 2675 et seq.
