United States v. County of Cook

Appealed from: United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois Judge David H. Coar The United States appeals from the decision of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois transferring Counts III and V of Cook County's counterclaim to the United States Court of Federal Claims. See United States v. County of Cook, Illinois, No. 94-C-7068, at 3 (N.D. Ill. Nov. 14, 1997). Because 28 U.S.C. § 1500 bars jurisdiction in the Court of Federal Claims over the transferred claims, we reverse. BACKGROUND
