EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

EASTERN DIVISION

BRADLEY HARBIN PLAINTIFF

 

v. NO. 2:15CV00090 JLH

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA DEFENDANT

ORDER

On July 24, 2015, the United States of America filed a motion to dismiss this action for lack

of subject matter jurisdiction. The declaration of Meredith Torres established that Bradley Harbin

has not presented his claim to the appropriate federal agency, which in this instance would be the

Department of Veterans Affairs, before filing suit. He has therefore failed to exhaust his

administrative remedies. Consequently, the United States is immune from suit. The motion to

dismiss is GRANTED. Document #10. This action is dismissed for lack of subject matter

jurisdiction.

IT IS SO ORDERED this 13th day of August, 2015.
