Filing 19 Opinion and Order: Sovereign immunity bars claims against the federal government seeking emotional distress damages under 11 U.S.C. § 362(k). Therefore, the bankruptcy court lacked jurisdiction to award the Hunsakers emotional distress damages. See F.D.I.C. v. Meyer, 510 U.S. 471, 475 (1994) (Sovereign immunity is jurisdictional in nature.). The judgment of the bankruptcy court is REVERSED. Signed on 10/20/2016 by Judge Michael J. McShane. (cp) |
