498 F.2d 1146 (1974)

STATES MARINE LINES, INC., Appellant, v. George P. SHULTZ, Secretary of the Treasury, et al., Appellees.

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

Decided June 14, 1974.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Gordon D. Schreck, Charleston, S. C. (Buist, Moore, Smythe & McGee, Charleston, S. C., on brief), for appellant.

Ronald A. Hightower, Asst. U. S. Atty. (John K. Grisso, U. S. Atty., on brief), for appellees.

Before HAYNSWORTH, Chief Judge, WINTER, Circuit Judge, and TURK, District Judge.

TURK, District Judge.

This case concerns the amenability to suit of certain federal officers allegedly responsible for consequential damages resulting from the seizure of plaintiff's property. The District Court concluded that the action could not be maintained because it is in substance an action against the United States and thus barred by its sovereign immunity. We vacate the dismissal order and remand the case for further proceedings.
