John Murtha, an ex-marine(sometimes there are ex-marines) a RAT rep from PA. was sued by 2 Haditha Marines - Staff Sergeant Frank Wuterich and LCPL Sharret.
In Wuterich v Murtha - libel\defamation among others.
Murtha claimed immunity under The Westfall Act. courts thru the appellate concurred.
Appeals forced that Murtha be dropped from the case, to be replaced by the United States and kicked it back to the district.
Since the U.S. didn’t waive sovereign immunity, district court dismissed it.
The same fate awaited Lcpl Sharret v Murtha.
Don’t know if that counts about what you may be looking for...
There it is. Thanks very much for your dig.
Sovereign immunity. Thanks.
