WILKINS v. UNITED STATES 

Opinion of the Court 

All told, neither this Court’s precedents nor Congress’ ac-
tions established that §2409a(g) is jurisdictional.  While the 
Government warns that revisiting precedent results in un-
certainty, no revisiting is necessary here.  Far more uncer-
tainty would follow from the Government’s method of divin-
ing definitive interpretations from stray remarks. 

* 

* 
Section 2409a(g) is a nonjurisdictional claims-processing
rule.  The Court of Appeals’ contrary judgment is reversed, 
and the case is remanded for further proceedings consistent
with this opinion. 

* 

It is so ordered.
