OPINION
_________________________
PER CURIAM. When Michigan’s Edenville Dam collapsed, it caused disastrous
flooding. Daniel and Cathleen Allen lived downstream, and their home was among those
destroyed. The Allens sued, alleging that the United States negligently entrusted operation of the
Dam to an unfit operator. The district court dismissed the case for lack of subject-matter
jurisdiction, holding that the government was entitled to sovereign immunity. We affirm. |
