Brian Kristofer Collins v. the State of Texas

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• noting that NPS denial of a plan of operations or blockage of access to the plaintiffs site of operations “might” constitute final agency action
• refusing to reach question whether a regulation was legally valid because the plaintiff subject to or affected by it failed to bring suit in time
• “[T]he United States is immune from suit unless it consents, and the terms of its consent circumscribe our jurisdiction.”
• “The applicable statute of limitations is one such term of consent, and failure to sue the United States within the limitations period is not merely a waivable defense. It operates to deprive federal courts of jurisdiction.”
• plaintiff could not facially challenge a regulation because it had been published outside the limitations period, whereas an “as applied” challenge would not be time-barred so long as the agency had applied the regulation to the plaintiff within the statutory period
