FIRST CITIZENS BANK & TRUST COMPANY INC., Plaintiff-Appellee, and United States Department of the Treasury; Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, a/k/a Federal Reserve Board, Third Party Defendants-Appellees, v. George N. SPIRAKIS, Defendant-Appellant, 514 F. App'x 318

Affirmed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: George N. Spirakis appeals the district court’s order dismissing for lack of subject matter jurisdiction his claim that the United States Department of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve violated his rights to equal protection and due process by declining to provide him financial assistance under the Troubled Asset Relief Program.

We have carefully reviewed the parties’ briefs and the joint appendix and find no legal or factual basis to reverse the district court’s conclusion that Congress has not waived its sovereign immunity with respect to money damage awards arising from agency action pursuant to the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, 12 U.S.C.A. §§ 5201-5261 (West Supp. 2012). Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. First Citizens Bank & Trust Co. v. Spirakis, No. 4:11-cv-02895-RBH, 2012 WL 1952677 (D.S.C. May 30, 2012).

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process. AFFIRMED.
