Fries v. United States
Opinion of the Court
Richard G. Fries appeals the dismissal of these actions by the Court of Federal Claims, as not within that court’s jurisdiction, or for failure to state a claim on which relief can be granted.
Appeal No. 2016-1242 relates to Mr. Fries’ contention that an unnamed third party was the victim of a dental scam, and requests damages in the amount of 2.5 million dollars. Such a cause of action, sounding in tort, is not within the jurisdiction of the Court of Federal Claims.
Appeal No. 2016-1304 concerns various allegations regarding drug testing, searches and seizures, and Mr. Fries’ credit rating. Again, the Court of Federal Claims correctly held that Mr. Fries has not stated a cause within the jurisdiction of that court.
The dismissals are AFFIRMED.
No costs.
