How courts have described this case

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

• “In interpreting the release, we first ascertain whether its language clearly bars the asserted claim.” (citing King v. Dep’t of the Navy, 130 F.3d 1031, 1033 (Fed. Cir. 1997))
• “Pine Isle’s alternative contention that FEMA violated the Fifth Amendment by breaching its contract with Pine Isle is also deficient, since FEMA’s conduct here would only appropri- ately give rise to a claim under contract law, not the Fifth Amendment.”
• noting exceptions to releases are strictly construed against contractors
