C & L Farms, Inc. v. Federal Crop Insurance Corporation
Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit
Decided August 28, 1985No. 85-1485PublishedCited by 13 opinions
1Per curiam
In December, 1984 FCIC denied claims C & L Farms, Inc. had filed for indemnity for crop losses. C & L then filed this suit in January, 1985 against FCIC under 7 U.S.C. § 1508(c). Eight days later, C & L served process by mail on an agent of FCIC. Although Fed.R.Civ.P. 4(d)(4), (5) requires persons suing an agency of the United States to serve process on the United States by (1) delivering the summons and complaint to the local United States Attorney or his or her assistant or appointee, and (2) mailing the summons and complaint to the Attorney General, C & L did not serve the United States.
