Opinion
No. 05-1483
August 9, 2006.
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Lee (North) County, R. David Fahey, Judge.
Plaintiff-appellant appeals the dismissal of his petition. AFFIRMED.
Steven Wycoff, Fort Madison, pro se.
Thomas J. Miller, Attorney General, and Forrest Guddall, Assistant Attorney General, for appellees.
Considered by Sackett, C.J., and Hecht and Vaitheswaran, JJ.
The district court sustained a motion to dismiss plaintiff-appellant Steven Ray Wycoff's petition. The district court determined, among other things, that it lacked subject matter jurisdiction since the claims were governed by the Iowa State Tort Claims Act and there was no showing plaintiff's administrative remedies had been exhausted. On appeal Wycoff challenges this finding and others. We agree with the district court that Wycoff failed to address his administrative remedies and affirm the dismissal on this basis. See Iowa Code § 669.5 (2003), Jones v. Bowers, 256 N.W.2d 223, 234 (Iowa 1977); Charles Gabus Ford v. Iowa State Highway Comm'n, 224 N.W.2d 639, 648 (Iowa 1974). We need not and do not address other issues raised by Wycoff on appeal.
