Billy Ray Burton, Plaintiff-appellant, v. the United States, Defendant-appellee, 945 F.2d 417 (Fed. Cir. 1991)

Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit - 945 F.2d 417 (Fed. Cir. 1991) Sept. 19, 1991

Before NIES, Chief Judge, and RICH and LOURIE, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.


Burton appeals the judgment of the United States Claims Court dismissing appellant's claim for lack of jurisdiction. The court held that Burton filed suit well over six years after the cause of action first accrued and was thereby time barred. See Burton v. United States, 22 Cl.Ct. 706 (1991). We affirm on the basis of the court's opinion.
