• addressing jurisdictional sufficiency of removal by RTC; dismissing claim against RTC due to plaintiff's failure to exhaust remedies
• directing district court to dismiss claims rather than remand them to state court because Congress withdrew jurisdiction from all courts over any claim of the type plaintiffs had raised, and therefore “a remand by the district court would be a vacuous act”
