Description
Alan E. Davis brought this action under the Federal Tort Claims Act ("FTCA"), 28 U.S.C. §Â§ 1346(b), 2671-2680, against the United States and Lt. Col. R. E. Stoffey, Daviss commanding officer in the Marine Corps. Davis sought damages for alleged intentional misuse of General Court-Martial proceedings. The district court dismissed, holding that the action was barred by the doctrine developed in Feres v. United States, 340 U.S. 135, 71 S. Ct. 153, 95 L. Ed. 152 (1950). Because Feres applies to Daviss intentional tort claim against the Government, and because the district court lacked subject matter jurisdiction as to Lt. Col. Stoffey, we affirm.
