1Opinion of the Court
HOLLOWAY, Circuit Judge.
This appeal presents the question of the district court’s subject-matter jurisdiction over this controversy involving the Department of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms’ refusal to process a convicted felon’s application for restoration of firearms privileges where that refusal is the result of Congress’ denial of funds for the necessary background investigations and action on such applications. For the reasons that follow, we affirm the district court’s dismissal of the case for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction.
