871 F2d 1097 Patton v. United States
871 F.2d 1097
Robert PATTON, Jr., Plaintiff-Appellant,
v.
The UNITED STATES, Defendant-Appellee.
No. 88-1635.
United States Court of Appeals, Federal Circuit.
March 13, 1989.
Unpublished Disposition
NOTICE: Federal Circuit Local Rule 47.8(b) states that opinions and orders which are designated as not citable as precedent shall not be employed or cited as precedent. This does not preclude assertion of issues of claim preclusion, issue preclusion, judicial estoppel, law of the case or the like based on a decision of the Court rendered in a nonprecedential opinion or order.
Before MARKEY, Chief Judge, and EDWARD S. SMITH and MAYER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.
DECISION
Patton appeals from a dismissal for lack of jurisdiction by the United States Claims Court, docket no. 467-88C. We affirm.
OPINION
The Claims Court correctly determined that Patton's claims fall outside its jurisdiction provided in 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1491. Patton's allegations, to the extent discernable, "sound in tort" and address constitutional violations of the type not reviewable by the Claims Court. See Smithson v. United States, 847 F.2d 791, 794 (Fed.Cir.1988).
