GRAHAM, J.
We must decide whether the loss by court officers of property seized from a person in their custody gives rise to a cause of action under the Massachusetts Tort Claims Act (Act), G. L. c. 258. We hold that the exemption in G. L. c. 258, § 10(d), precludes recovery against the Commonwealth and affirm the ruling of a judge of the Superior Court dismissing the plaintiff's complaint.
