George H. POWELL, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. UNITED STATES of America, Defendant-Appellee.

United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.

October 22, 1991.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Elizabeth St. Clair, Nicholas Poser, Rabinowitz, Boudin, Standard, Krinsky & Lieberman, New York City, for plaintiff-appellant.

Gary R. Allen, Chief, Brian C. Griffin, Janet Kay Jones, Robert S. Pomerance, Appellate Section, Tax Div., Dept. of Justice, Washington, D.C., for defendant-appellee.

Before COX and DUBINA, Circuit Judges, and GODBOLD, Senior Circuit Judge.


DUBINA, Circuit Judge:

The appellant, George H. Powell ("Powell"), appeals the district court's order of dismissal of Powell's complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. The record demonstrates that Powell did state a claim upon which, under certain factual scenarios, relief could be granted and, accordingly, we vacate the district court's order and remand this case for further proceedings.
