Central Green Co. v. United States

''Central Green Co. v. United States'', (531 U.S. 425 ) (2001), was a United States Supreme Court case decided in 2001. The case concerned the meaning of the words "flood or flood waters" within the Flood Control Act of 1928. The Court concluded that the law did not always apply to federal flood control facilities.
==Background==
Central Green Co. owned 1,000 acres of pistachio orchards in California's San Joaquin Valley. The Madera Canal flowed through their property. In 1996, they brought a suit against the United States alleging negligence in the operation and design of the canal. They alleged that it causes subsurface flooding which destroyed some of their crop.〔(531 U.S. 425 ) at 428.〕 In court, the United States argued that the Flood Control Act of 1928 grants them immunity, as it states "()o liability of any kind shall attach to or rest upon the United States for any damage from or by floods or flood waters at any place".〔(531 U.S. 425 ) at 426.〕 The District Court dismissed the complaint, agreeing with the United States that this incident would fall in the confines of "flood or flood waters". Central Green Co. appealed and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed. It agreed with Central Green that the Madera Canal "serves no flood control purpose", but nevertheless held that immunity attached "solely because it is a branch of the Central Valley Project".〔(531 U.S. 425 ) at 429.〕 Central Green appealed again, this time to the United States Supreme Court, which granted review.
