1Opinion of the Court
HENLEY, Senior Circuit Judge.
This appeal arises from the district court’s 1 dismissal of appellant James A. Murray’s complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(b). Murray seeks $70,000.00 in civil damages, or, alternatively, an order compelling the United States to convey to him certain real property which he had attempted to redeem following its conveyance to the United States at a tax auction. The district court held that subject matter jurisdiction was lacking because the United States had not waived its sovereign immunity.
We agree with the district court…
