ARGUED SEPTEMBER 26, 2011

Before CUDAHY, POSNER, and WOOD, Circuit Judges.

This case revolves around notice and administrative exhaustion requirements for the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act (FIRREA). The main issue, among the many suggested by the plaintiff, is whether twelve days’ notice provides a meaningful opportunity to submit a claim. FIRREA sets out the claim process for creditors or depositors connected to failed banks. The scheme allows the parties to preserve assets while avoiding complex litigation. FIRREA bars claimants from taking claims directly to court without first going through an administrative determination. The bar date is 90 days after the first publication of notice of receivership. Plaintiff-Appellant, Craig Campbell, learned of a potential claim against the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) receiver twelve days before the bar date. Campbell did not contact the FDIC till several months after the bar date, at which time the FDIC denied his claim as time barred. Campbell appealed to the district court, which dismissed the case for lack of subject matter jurisdiction because the plaintiff had an opportunity to file a claim before the deadline but did not do so. On appeal, Campbell argues that his claim falls under § 1821(d)(5)(C)(ii), the exception to the FIRREA deadline, and that failure to find the authority to adjudicate would deprive him of due process. While we agree with Campbell that it is conceivable that a claim might arise so close to the bar date as to deprive a plaintiff of due process, that eleventh hour scenario is not present in this case.
