Postal Service v. Konan · ¶20

The District Court dismissed Konan’s complaint based on sovereign immunity.Relying on the postal exception, it concluded that the United States enjoys sovereign immunity from her claims “because they all relate to ‘personal or fi- nancial harms arising from nondelivery . . . of sensitive mate- rials or information . . .’ and other mail.”652 F. Supp. 3d 721, 731 (ND Tex. 2023) (quoting Dolan, 546 U. S., at 489). The District Court held that the postal exception is not lim- ited to merely negligent failure to properly carry the mail. 652 F. Supp. 3d, at 730–731.
