United States Fourth Circuit
Village of Bald Head Island v. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 11-2366
Dismissal of plaintiff's complaint seeking to require defendant to honor commitments made to plaintiff and other North Carolina towns when developing its plans to widen, deepen, and realign portions of the Cape Fear River navigation channel, is affirmed, where: 1) defendant's failure to implement "commitments" made to plaintiff during development of the plans for the project was not final agency action subject to judicial review; and 2) the alleged contracts on which plaintiff relies for its contract claims are not maritime contracts that justify the exercise of admiralty jurisdiction.
