Alan Goldstein appeals the judgment of the United States Court of Federal Claims* granting the government's motion for summary judgment and dismissing Goldstein's complaint. Goldstein v. United States, No. 270-89L (Feb. 25, 1993) (table).
The Court of Federal Claims held that Goldstein's tax deed to a 141 acre Pennsylvania parcel within a larger tract condemned by the government was void as a matter of Pennsylvania law. Accordingly, without any property interest in the tax tract, Goldstein cannot lay claim to a proportionate amount of the just compensation award made by the government upon its taking of the condemned tract. For the reasons stated in, and upon the basis of, the thorough and correct opinion of the Court of Federal Claims, we affirm its judgment in this case.
The United States Claims Court is now known as the United States Court of Federal Claims. Federal Courts Administration Act of 1992, Pub.L. No. 102-572, Sec. 902(a), 106 Stat. 4506, 4516
