United States Eleventh Circuit
Estate of Ahuva Amergi v. Palestinian Auth., 09-13618
In an action arising from the murder of Ahuva Amergi, an Israeli citizen who was shot and killed as she drove her car in the Gaza Strip in February of 2002, allegedly by agents of the Palestinian Authority, a dismissal of the action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction is affirmed where the act plaintiffs alleged -- a single killing by non-state actors purportedly in the course of an armed conflict -- failed to meet the Alien Tort Statute's high bar.
