    Filed January 18, 2017

    Case 1:16-cv-10191-DJC Document 16-1 Filed 01/18/17 Page 9 of 14 10 Regardless of which of the dates noted above is deemed to be the date upon which the claim was “presented in writing to the agency owning or operating the vessel causing the injury or damage,” it is clear that Mr. Rios filed suit prior to the expiration of the six-month waiting period. 46 U.S.C. § 30101(c)(2). This is so even when allowing Mr. Rios the generous presumption of employing the date of the August 7 letter as the triggering event for the six-month waiting period.4 Even in that best case scenario for 4 Such an approach presumes that the four addressees received the letter on August 7, and ignores the fact that the letter was not addressed to the appropriate agency.
