2 DUGAS v. US

Mr. Dugas filed his complaint at the United States Court of Federal Claims against the City of New York and Departments of City Government alleging they were “oper- ating in a criminal manner.” Dkt. No. 1 at 2. The Court of Federal Claims dismissed the case, concluding that the court lacked jurisdiction over Mr. Dugas’s claims against state and local government entities and his allegations of violations of criminal law. Summary disposition is appropriate because the Court of Federal Claims’s judgment “is so clearly correct as a mat- ter of law that no substantial question regarding the out- come of the appeal exists.” Joshua v. United States, 17 F.3d 378, 380 (Fed. Cir. 1994). For Mr. Dugas’s claims against New York state and local entities, “if the relief sought is against others than the United States the suit as to them must be ignored as beyond the jurisdiction of the [Court of Federal Claims],” United States v. Sherwood, 312 U.S. 584, 588 (1941). And for his allegations of violations of criminal law, the Court of Federal Claims “has no jurisdiction to ad- judicate any claims whatsoever under the federal criminal code,” Joshua, 17 F.3d at 379. Accordingly, Case: 25-1134 Document: 38 Page: 3 Filed: 01/14/2025
