Postal Service v. Konan · ¶12

The FTCA’s postal exception retains the Government’s sovereign immunity for lawsuits about failing to properly carry or deliver mail.It forecloses “[a]ny claim arising out of the loss, miscarriage, or negligent transmission of letters or postal matter.”§2680(b).This Court has interpreted the postal exception to apply when the plaintiff is harmed “because mail either fails to arrive at all or arrives late, in damaged condition, or at the wrong address.”Dolan, 546 U. S., at 489.
