Evans v. Greenfield Banking Co.

Dist. Ct. properly found that it lacked jurisdiction to consider plaintiff’s lawsuit, alleging that defendant, as federal fiduciary charged with managing plaintiff’s veterans’ benefits, breached its fiduciary duty to plaintiff, even though it complied with its obligations to Veterans Administration as plaintiff’s federal fiduciary. Instant complaint was really challenge to defendant’s appointment as plaintiff’s federal fiduciary and to instant distribution of veterans’ benefits, which could only be addressed by first filing action in Veterans Court and then appealing any adverse ruling to Federal Circuit Court of Appeals.
