Hurricane Katrina Litigation

On October 17, 2005, Maples & Kirwan filed suit on behalf of Rocco and Thomas Tommaseo  (1:05-cv-01119-SGB) in the Federal Court of Claims against the United States, alleging that the Army Corps of Engineers' creation of the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet was a "taking" for which compensation should be given to owners of real property flooded by Hurricane Katrina.  The Washington Post has excerpted some of the counts in the complaint in Verbatim.  The complaint is not available through PACER.
