OPINION AND ORDER

WOLSKI, Judge.

Defendant has moved to dismiss this ease, under Title 28, Section 1500-the provision that shuts the door to this Court’s jurisdiction when a sufficiently similar suit against the United States government is pending in another court at the time litigants bring their case to our doorstep. The application of this statute is usually pretty straightforward-the Court looks to see what was pending elsewhere and compares that matter to the controversy brought before it. But this usual “what did they file, and when did they file it?” exercise is complicated in this case…
