CLARK v. UNITED STATES (2018)

United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

Peggy Jean CLARK, Plaintiff-Appellant v. UNITED STATES of America, Defendant-Appellee

No. 17-30804

Decided: February 20, 2018

Before REAVLEY, PRADO, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.

Peggy Jean Clark, Pro Se Sandra Ema Gutierrez, Kevin G. Boitmann, Peter M. Mansfield, Assistant U.S. Attorneys, U.S. Attorney's Office, Eastern District of Louisiana, New Orleans, LA, for Defendant-Appellee

This lawsuit against the United States has been dismissed because federal courts lack jurisdiction for claims of fraud against the United States. The Plaintiff has reached different names for the wrong she claims, but she has not been able to change her pleading and the fact that her claim arises out of fraud. The law is clear that we have no jurisdiction. See 28 U.S.C. § 2680 and Truman v. United States, 26 F.3d 592 (5th Cir. 1994).

AFFIRMED.
