Before GORSUCH, McKAY, and BACHARACH, Circuit Judges.

_________________________________

The district court dismissed this action under the Federal Tort Claims Act,

holding in part that the FTCA's time limits are jurisdictional and not subject to

equitable tolling. During the pendency of this appeal, the Supreme Court has held in

United States v. Wong, Nos. 13-1074, 13-1075, 2015 WL 1808750 (U.S. Apr. 22,

consideration of the appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2)(C); 10th Cir. R. 34.1(G).

Thus, we have decided the appeal based on the briefs. Our order and judgment does

judicata, and collateral estoppel.

tolling. In light of the Supreme Court's decision in Wong, the parties agree that this

case should be remanded to the district court for further proceedings. We agree. The

action is remanded to the district court for further proceedings in light of the Supreme

Court's decision in Wong.
