United States First Circuit

Summary judgment in favor of defendant United States in Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) action arising out of plaintiff's termination from the U.S. Post Office, is affirmed, where: 1) the district court correctly concluded that the Postal Service Board of Contract Appeals' (PSBCA) findings precluded re-litigation of the factual issues in plaintiff's FTCA suit; and 2) applying the uncontested facts, summary judgment was properly granted as to plaintiff's FTCA claims for negligent supervision, malicious prosecution, and invasion of privacy by postal inspectors.
