Decided November 18, 1977No. 77-1120PublishedCited by 43 opinions

1Per curiam

The Travelers Insurance Company, defendant below, is a contract carrier through which the Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare administers the Medicare Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 1395e-1395qq (1970) (amended 1976). Travelers brings this interlocutory appeal, 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b), from the district court’s denial of its motion for summary judgment, contending that the district court lacked subject matter jurisdiction over Travelers under the doctrine of sovereign immunity. We agree and direct the district court to enter judgment for the appellant.
