U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Konan v. Usps
September 3, 2026
Summary
The Fifth Circuit affirmed the district court's judgment, modifying the dismissal of Konan's FTCA claims to be without prejudice, and reaffirmed the dismissal of her equal‑protection claims. The court applied the Supreme Court's interpretation that the FTCA postal exception bars intentional nondelivery claims and corrected the lower court's error of dismissing those claims with prejudice.
