MEMORANDUM
LUDWIG, District Judge.
Defendant United States moves to dismiss this action on the ground that it is barred by the Federal Torts Claims Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1346. Fed.R.Civ.P. 12. Before the issue can be reached, it is necessary to decide the propriety of the substitution of the United States as a party defendant. Because the record on that subject is not ready for a ruling, the disposition of the dismissal motion will be deferred.
