Blain v. United States

Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit

Decided March 28, 1977No. 75-3376PublishedCited by 34 opinions

1Per curiam

Plaintiffs’ action against the United States for property damage was dismissed. They contend before us that the district judge erred in holding that a class claim filed by a non-plaintiff does not fulfill the administrative claim requirement of 28 U.S.C. § 2675. We affirm.

The plaintiffs contend that in September 1970 there was a forest fire in the Cleveland National Forest, near San Diego, California, caused by the negligence of the United States. Plaintiffs are individuals who suffered real and personal property damage as a result of the fire and their subrogor insurance companies.
