UNITED STATES COURT OF FEDERAL CLAIMS
DEFENDENT’S Motion to Dismiss is DENIED
OPINION AND ORDER
Plaintiff Orville Nix, Jr., seeks just compensation under the Fifth Amendment
for an alleged taking of property: namely, a long-missing film of the assassination of
President John F. Kennedy. Am. Compl. (ECF 39). The government moved to dismiss,
arguing that Plaintiff has failed to plead facts sufficient to state a takings claim
within this Court’s statute of limitations. Those arguments fail — at least at the
pleadings stage — so the motion to dismiss is DENIED.
