Question presented:
Whether the Court of Appeals impermissibly expanded the intent of the Indian Self-Determination Act by applying a “liberal” standard to bring within its scope libelous conduct directed by tribal officials against a federal agency official?
The Eleventh Circuit held that Dean Seneca, a former employee of the Office of Tribal Affairs in the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, failed to exhaust his administrative remedies under the FTCA before suing the US and USET. He was reprimanded after allegedly making improper communications with USET over the text of proposed Congressional testimony.
