According to the computerworld article "The Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia had asked the appeals court to uphold a previous order of the District Court for the District of Columbia, stating that U.S. courts lack subject-matter jurisdiction in the case, as the exception to the FSIA did not apply because all of the tort did not occur in the U.S."
An appeals court has barred an Ethiopian-born U.S. citizen from filing a civil suit against the African country, which allegedly infected his computer with spyware and monitored his communications.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled Tuesday that foreign states are immune from lawsuits in a U.S. court unless an exception to the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (FSIA) applies.
