United States DC Circuit
Tootle v. Sec'y of the Navy, 04-5409
Dismissal of a complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction is reversed and a petition for a writ of mandamus is granted where the district court was not divested of its jurisdiction by the Tucker Act with regards to petitioner's suit under the Administrative Procedure Act challenging a determination made by a Navy physical evaluation board that petitioner was "fit for duty," and, thus, not eligible for medical retirement.
