• observing that a “noncorporate department within the District government” is presumptively not a “separate suable entity”
• noting that where CMPA’s remedies are exclusive, the courts lack subject matter jurisdiction
• permitting parties to “seek relief outside of the CMPA ... would frustrate the [CMPAj’s aim to achieve order and efficiency”
• objection to service of process will not be considered on appeal if not raised in trial court
• “[S]ummary treatment is reserved for cases where the trial court’s ruling rests on a narrow and clear-cut issue of law.”
• defense of sovereign immunity “may be waived” and “is not jurisdictional in the sense that it must be raised and decided by a court on its motion”
