2. “Suits based upon acts allegedly committed by an agency or by one of its employees acting in an official capacity are maintainable, if at all, under the provisions of the Federal Tort Claims Act, and must name the United States as defendant. The Court finds that plaintiff's suit is cognizable under Title 28 U.S.C.A. § 1346 (b) and therefore plaintiff's exclusive remedy against an employee of the government is within the Federal Tort Claims Act.”
