IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF FEDERAL CLAIMS No. 03-2028 T Judge Francis M. Allegra (Consolidated with 04-907 T)

KENNETH C. KEENER, Plaintiff, v. THE UNITED STATES, Defendant.

JOINT STATUS REPORT

Pursuant to the Court's Order [Doc. #65], the parties provide the following report on John F. and Pamela F. Hinck v. United States, Fed. Cl. No. 03-865 T. On May 21, 2007, the Supreme Court affirmed the Federal Circuit's decision in Hinck v. United States, 446 F.3d 1307 (Fed. Cir. 2006). See Hinck v. United States, 127 S.Ct. 2011 (2007). Under the Supreme Court's and Federal Circuit's decisions, the Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction over the interest abatement claims in Keener, Fed. Cl. No. 03-2028 T and Smith, Fed. Cl. No. 04-907 T. Accordingly, the Court should dismiss those claims. Plaintiffs' attorney has authorized defendant's attorney to sign this joint status report on her behalf.
