Question Presented (AI Summary)
Whether the discretionary function exception to the Federal Tort Claims Act restricts the law enforcement proviso's waiver of sovereign immunity for intentional torts committed by federal law enforcement officers
Question Presented (OCR Extract)
QUESTION PRESENTED The Federal Tort Claims Act’s law enforcement proviso, 28 U.S.C. § 2680(h), waives the United States’ sovereign immunity for “[a]ny claim” arising out of an enumerated list of intentional common-law torts committed by federal law enforcement officers. The question presented is whether, and to what extent, the discretionary function exception to the Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2680(a), restricts that proviso.
