   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  04-3910
   Western District of Missouri   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Lay and Benton, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - environmental law. FEMA's Memorandum of Agreement with the Corps of Engineers concerning permitted flood levees on lands acquired under the Stafford Act was not a final agency action, and the plaintiff's Stafford Act claim was properly dismissed for lack of jurisdiction; however, the Corps' action in issuing a finding of no significant impact was a final agency action for purposes of bringing suit under the National Environmental Policy Act; plaintiff had standing to bring the NEPA suit and the dispute was ripe for judicial review; as a result, the district court erred in dismissing plaintiff's NEPA claims.
