United States Federal Circuit

Because plaintiffs did not file their Winstar-related action within the six-year statute of limitations codified at 28 U.S.C. section 2501, and there were no equitable considerations in favor of tolling the jurisdictional bar, dismissal of complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction affirmed.
