Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Michael J. Harrington, Law Offices of Michael J. Harrington, Davis, CA, for appellant.

Charles J. Stevens, United States Attorney, Yoshinori H.T. Himel, Assistant United States Attorney, Sacramento, CA, for appellees.

Before: KOZINSKI, MAYER, and FERDINAND Circuit Judges.


MAYER, Circuit Judge:

We are asked, once again, to determine the propriety of a district court's dismissal for lack of jurisdiction of a Bivens-type action challenging procedures used by the Federal Aviation Administration in suspending or revoking flying privileges, where the relevant statute appears to vest appellate jurisdiction exclusively in the appellate courts. We affirm the judgment on other grounds.
