United States Eighth Circuit

Judgment for defendant in an estate administrator's suit against the United States for negligence pursuant to the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) is affirmed where the district court did not err in finding that plaintiff failed to show that Indian Health Service's failure to detect decedent's cancer sooner was a proximate cause of death or decreased chance of survival.
