About This Legal Opinion

The Court of Federal Claims dismissed Welty's suit on a 12(b)(6) motion for failure to state a claim, and Welty appealed. The appellate court affirmed, finding that Given's participation in the CRP and his decision to construct the levees was voluntary and thus there was no taking.
