United States Second Circuit


Triestman v. Federal Bureau of Prisons, 05-3080

Dismissal of complaint brought under the Federal Torts Claim Act is vacated as the pro se plaintiff's submissions should be read to include a theory of liability that the district court did not consider, which might not be barred by the FTCA's discretionary function exception.
