Coach Shielded from Boxer’s Lawsuit by FTCA

A federal judge from the Eastern District of North Carolina has granted the U.S. Federal Government’s motion to dismiss in a case in which it, along with United States Amateur Boxing (USAB), was sued by the family of boxer, who died in competition while competing for the All-Marine Amateur Boxing Team (Team).   The court sided with the government because the plaintiff had not “exhausted” its administrative remedies before filing the claim. It left the claim against USAB intact.
