Navajo Nation v. United States
Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit
Decided January 10, 2011No. 2010-5036PublishedCited by 39 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
MAYER, Circuit Judge.
The Navajo Nation appeals a judgment of the United States Court of Federal Claims denying its claim seeking damages for an alleged Fifth Amendment taking of its right to develop land granted to it by the United States in 1934. See Navajo Nation v. United States, No. 88-CV-508 (Fed.Cl. July 13, 2009). Because we conclude that the claim is barred by the six-year statute of limitations set out in 28 U.S.C. § 2501, we vacate the judgment of the Court of Federal Claims and remand with instructions to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction.
