United States Eighth Circuit
Ace Prop. & Cas. Ins. Co. v. Fed. Crop Ins. Corp., 05-2321
7 U.S.C. section 6912(e) is nothing more than "a codified requirement of administrative exhaustion" and is thus not jurisdictional. Dismissal of a breach of contract action brought by insurance companies who provide federal crop insurance against an agency is affirmed on the ground that none of the exceptions to the exhaustion doctrine excused plaintiffs' failure to exhaust their administrative remedies.
