Payment of Judgment

The attorney for plaintiff Lynda M. Burns, also acting on behalf of Gloria Felder and Betty Ann Henschen, requested reconsideration of the disallowance of interest on part of a judgment awarded against the United States in a wrongful death action suit. The Federal Tort Claims Act judgment awarded more than $100,000 to the named plaintiffs and also made awards of less than $100,000 to the named plaintiffs on behalf of their children; the lesser awards were correctly paid. Ordinarily interest would be disallowed since the transcript of the judgment was not filed with GAO as required; however, GAO has a duty to pay the interest here in compliance with the specific terms of the final judgment.
