SOMALI DEVELOPMENT BANK and the Somali Democratic Republic v. The UNITED STATES.

United States Court of Claims.

December 18, 1974.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Frances Clark Barrie, Washington, D. C., for plaintiffs; Roger M. Dougherty, Washington, D. C., attorney of record. James M. O'Neill, Washington, D. C., of counsel.

George M. Beasley, III, Washington, D. C., with whom was Asst. Atty. Gen. Carla A. Hills, for defendant.

Before COWEN, Chief Judge, and KASHIWA and BENNETT, Judges.


COWEN, Chief Judge:

This case comes before the court on motions for summary judgment presented by plaintiffs and defendant. Since we conclude that this court lacks jurisdiction because plaintiffs' claim basically sounds in tort, we grant defendant's motion for summary judgment and dismiss plaintiffs' petition. Having decided the motions on that ground, we must also dismiss, as having no independent jurisdictional status, defendant's counterclaim.
