Fifth Circuit Discusses Split Re Is Whether 7 U.S.C. § 6912(e) Requires the Exhaustion of Administrative Remedies as a Prerequisite to Federal SMJ

By A. Benjamin Spencer

ADVERTISEMENTS
Per Dawson Farms, LLC v. Farm Service Agency, 504 F.3d 592, (5th Cir. Oct. 16, 2007)

The Eighth and Ninth Circuits have held that the 7 U.S.C. § 6912(e) exhaustion requirement is jurisprudential rather than jurisdictional in its effect. The Second Circuit's contrary view is that § 6912(e) is a prerequisite to a district court's subject matter jurisdiction in a person's suit against the Secretary, the USDA, or any of its agencies, officers or employees.

. . .

[W]e now join the Eighth and Ninth Circuits in holding that § 6912(e) analogously codifies the jurisprudential doctrine of exhaustion and is not jurisdictional.
