PER CURIAM.

¶1

This is a suit for damages under the Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C. §§ 1346, 2671-2680 (1952), for personal injuries sustained in a fall in a public building. Plaintiff-appellant contends that the fall was occasioned by the Government's negligence in failing to maintain the floor in a dry condition and in failing to warn of its unsafe wet condition. The District Court, sitting without a jury, found that no negligence had been established, and entered judgment for the defendant. This appeal followed. After careful consideration of appellant's contentions, we find no error affecting substantial rights.

¶2

Affirmed.
