Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit June 6, 2002, No. 98-35362; D.C. No. CV-94-488-HRH (Wilson v. United States)

ORDER *

Blanche Kallstrom would have a viable claim against the United States under the Federal Tort Claims Act (“FTCA”) only if Alaska law recognizes that a person who inflicts injury on another as an “unwitting *859instrument” of a negligent party has a claim against that negligent party for the negligent infliction of emotional distress (“NIED”). See Wilson v. United States, 190 F.
