Applies 28 U.S.C. § 2501

Relies on Sese v. United States · McDowell v. United States · Marcos v. United States

Decided 1953-07-13

HOWELL, Judge.

¶1Plaintiff, a citizen and resident of the Philippines, sues to recover the value of supplies requisitioned in 1942 and 1945 by a recognized guerrilla unit. Plaintiff alleges that he filed a claim with the Army Claims Service in 1948 and has not received a reply therefrom.

¶2Plaintiff’s petition was filed in this court on February 19, 1953 and defendant has filed a motion to dismiss on the ground that the claim is barred by the statute of limitations, 28 U.S.C.A. § 2501, because the petition was not filed within six years of September 2, 1945, 59 Stat. 1733. Marcos v. United States, 102 F.Supp. 547, 106 F.Supp. 172, 122 Ct.Cl. 641.

¶3In view of the Marcos decision and our decision in the case of Sese v. United States, 113 F.Supp. 658, plaintiff’s petition is not timely and is therefore dismissed.

¶4It is so ordered.

JONES, Chief Judge, and MADDEN, WHITAKER and LITTLETON, Judges, concur.
