Sconiers v. USA — civil — affirmance — Greenaway

The Third Circuit today affirmed the dismissal of a suit under the Federal Tort Claims Act because the claimant failed to file suit within six months of the agency’s written denial, rejecting the claimant’s argument that the FTCA’s timeliness requirement was satisfied once she filed her claim with the agency within two years.

Joining Greenaway were Restrepo and Bibas. The case was decided without oral argument.
