Summary:       The BIA filed a Motion for Summary Judgment, asserting, inter alia, that the plaintiff’s FTCA claim was barred by the exclusive remedy provisions of the FECA. The court concluded there was a substantial question regarding FECA coverage. Given the fact determinations regarding FECA eligibility are matters left to the sole discretion of the Secretary of Labor, the court stayed the action pending a ruling by the Secretary on the plaintiff’s application for FECA benefits.
