on October 12, 1995, less than four months after sending the request for reconsideration, and within six months of the first “final denial,” BOND filed this action in federal district court. The USPS had not acted on BOND’S request for reconsideration prior to BOND filing suit (see footnote 5). Again, to be clear, the Government does not assert that BOND failed to present her claim timely on either occasion, or that suit was filed after the statute of limitations had run. Instead, the Government argues that because BOND filed suit on October 12,1995, before the USPS had issued a second “final denial,” § 14.9(b) makes BOND’S suit premature, and therefore this Court does not have jurisdiction over this matter. McNeil v. United States, 508 U.S. 106, 113 S.Ct. 1980, 124 L.Ed.2d 21 (1993) (<HOLDING>). The FTCA is a limited waiver of sovereign
holding that district court has no jurisdiction when an action is brought before the first final denial occurs holding that a notice of appeal is timely when filed before final judgment is entered by the district court holding that district court has no jurisdiction to take further action where there was no remand order holding that the district court has broad authority to take jurisdiction over a matter even when that matter is not brought by a real party in interest holding that when a court of appeals has jurisdiction on interlocutory appeal the scope of appellate review is not limited to the precise question certified by the district court because the district courts order not the certified question is brought before the court
