Futrell v. U.S.

Dist. Ct. did not err in dismissing plaintiff’s claim under Federal Tort Claims Act, alleging that defendant-govt.’s delay in making certain incapacitation payments caused him emotional distress. Plaintiff’s alleged injuries occurred at time when he was still in military and concerned Army’s alleged delay in paying him certain benefits. As such, Feres doctrine applied so as to require dismissal of instant claim, where plaintiff’s injuries were allegedly caused by negligence of others in armed forces.
