How courts have described this case

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

• holding that the district court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing an action with prejudice because sovereign immunity posed an absolute bar to jurisdiction
• explaining that a 1 case dismissed without prejudice allows a plaintiff to “reassert his claims in a competent 2 court”
• stating a dismissal for lack of jurisdiction should be without 14 || prejudice unless plaintiff has no way to cure the jurisdictional defect
• upholding a 28 district court’s dismissal of an action with prejudice because “the bar of sovereign 1 immunity is absolute”
• affirming dismissal with prejudice for lack of subject matter jurisdiction where plaintiffs could not cure procedural default and “no other court [had] the power to hear the case”
• setting forth standard of review and explaining that a dismissal with prejudice may be proper where “the bar of sovereign immunity is absolute” and redrafting will not cure the pleading
