Opinion
No. 2007-5086.
September 7, 2007. Rehearing En Banc Denied October 31, 2007.
Appealed from United States Court of Federal Claims, George W. Miller, Judge.
Tyrone Hurt, of Washington, DC, pro se.
Douglas K. Mickle, Attorney, Commercial Litigation Branch, Civil Division, United States Department of Justice, of Washington, DC, for defendant-appellee. With him on the brief were Peter D. Keisler, Assistant Attorney General, Jeanne E. Davidson, Director, and Franklin E. White, Jr., Assistant Director.
Tyrone Hurt appeals the judgment of the Court of Federal Claims dismissing his claims for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, Hurt v. United States, No. 05-CV-8 (Fed.Cl. Jan. 24, 2007). We affirm.
Summary affirmance of a case "is appropriate, inter alia, when the position of one party is so clearly correct as a matter of law that no substantial question regarding the outcome of the appeal exists." Joshua v. United States, 17 F.3d 378, 380 (Fed. Cir. 1994) (summarily affirming the Court of Federal Claims' dismissal of a complaint). Having reviewed the papers and Hurt's brief, it is clear that the trial court correctly concluded that it lacked jurisdiction over Hurt's case and dismissal was warranted. Thus, because no substantial question exists regarding the outcome of Hurt's appeal, the court summarily affirms the judgment of the Court of Federal Claims dismissing Hurt's case.
