TITLE 28--JUDICIARY AND JUDICIAL PROCEDURE
PART VI--PARTICULAR PROCEEDINGS
CHAPTER 157--SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD ORDERS; ENFORCEMENT AND REVIEW
Sec. 2322. United States as party
All actions specified in section 2321 of this title shall be brought
by or against the United States.
(June 25, 1948, ch. 646, 62 Stat. 969.)
Historical and Revision Notes
Based on title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Sec. 48 (Mar. 3, 1911, ch. 231,
Sec. 211, 36 Stat. 1150; Oct. 22, 1913, ch. 32, 38 Stat. 219).
Word ``actions'' was substituted for ``cases and proceedings'', in
view of Rule 2 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
A provision authorizing intervention by the United States was
omitted. The United States, under the provisions of this section, is a
necessary and indispensable original party, and hence intervention is
unnecessary. (See Lambert Run Coal Co. v. Baltimore & O. R. Co., 1922,
42 S.Ct. 349, 258 U.S. 377, 66 L.Ed. 671.)
