MEMORANDUM OPINION
Pending before the Court is a motion to dismiss or, in the alternative, to transfer, filed by defendants Kenneth Salazar, Secretary of the Interior, and Larry Echo-hawk, Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs.1 Upon consideration of the motion, the response and reply thereto, a brief filed by the State of Connecticut as Amicus Curiae, the entire record, and for the reasons stated below, defendants’ motion to dismiss is GRANTED.
*275I. BACKGROUND
In 1978, the Eastern Pequot Indians of Connecticut filed a letter of intent seeking federal acknowledgment as an Indian tribe pursuant to 25 C.F.R. Part 83. See 65 Fed.Reg. 17299 (Mar. 31, 2000).2 On June 24, 2002, the Assistant Secretary issued a Final Determination (“FD”) concluding that the “historical Eastern Pequot tribe, represented by two petitioners, the Eastern Pequot Indians of Connecticut and the Paucatuck Eastern Pequot Indians of Connecticut,” satisfied the regulatory criteria for federal acknowledgment. See 67 Fed. Reg. 44,234-02 (Jul. 1, 2002). A request for reconsideration of that decision was filed with the Interior Board of Indian Appeals (“IBIA”) within 90 days by the State of Connecticut and the towns of North Stonington, Ledyard and Preston. In re Fed. Acknowledgment of the Historical E. Pequot Tribe, 41 IBIA 1; 67 Fed. Reg. 44,240 (Jul. 1, 2002). On May 12, 2005, the IBIA issued an Order Vacating and Remanding the determination. 41 IBIA 1. On October 14, 2005, the IBIA issued and published a Reconsidered Final Decision (“RFD”) in the Federal Register denying federal recognition to the tribe. 70 Fed.Reg. 60,099-01 (Oct. 14, 2005). The RFD -stated that it was “final and effective upon the date of publication.” Id.
On January 12, 2006, the IBIA received a request from the “Historic Eastern Pequot Tribe” for reconsideration of the RFD. 42 IBIA 133. The IBIA dismissed the request for lack of jurisdiction. Id. Specifically, the IBIA explained that it only has jurisdiction to review timely requests for reconsideration of a Final Determination, not a Reconsidered Final Determination: In this case, the Final Determination was issued on July 1, 2002. The Reconsidered Final Decision, issued October 14, 2005, was final and effective upon its publication.
Plaintiff filed the initial complaint in this action on January 13, 2012. ECF No. 1. At that time, plaintiff was proceeding as the “Eastern Pequot Tribal Nation.” The Court subsequently received a letter dated January 20, 2012 from James A. Cunha, Jr., Tribal Chairman of the Eastern Pequot Tribal Nation. ECF No. 2. Mr. Cunha explained that the complaint had not been reviewed or authorized by the Eastern Pequot Tribal Nation and he requested information as to how to withdraw the complaint.
On February 3, 2013, the Court directed plaintiff to respond to Mr. Cunha’s letter. On February 18, 2012, plaintiff moved to substitute, the “Historic Eastern Pequots” for the Eastern Pequot Tribal Nation. ECF No. 3. The Court granted that motion on February 22, 2012, and directed plaintiff to file an amended complaint. The Amended Complaint was filed on March 7, 2012.' ECF No. 5.
On April 11, 2012, defendants moved to dismiss or, in the alternative, to transfer venue. ECF No. 8. Defendants argue that the Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction over plaintiffs claims because they fall outside of the applicable statutes of limitations. Defendant also argues that Counts *276VIII and IX fail to state a claim. The motion is now ripe for the Court’s decision.
II. STANDARD OF REVIEW a. Rule 12(b)(1)
Federal district courts are courts of limited jurisdiction and “possess only that power conferred by [the] Constitution and [by] statute.” Logan v. Dep’t of Veterans Affairs, 357 F.Supp.2d 149, 152 (D.D.C.2004) (quoting Kokkonen v. Guardian Life Ins. Co. of Am., 511 U.S. 375, 377, 114 S.Ct. 1673, 128 L.Ed.2d 391 (1994)). “There is a presumption against federal court jurisdiction and the burden is on the party asserting the jurisdiction, the plaintiff in this case, to establish that the Court has subject matter jurisdiction over the action.” Id. at 153 (citing McNutt v. Gen. Motors Acceptance Corp. of Ind., 298 U.S. 178, 182-83, 56 S.Ct. 780, 80 L.Ed. 1135 (1936)).
In assessing whether a complaint sufficiently alleges subject matter jurisdiction, the Court accepts as true the allegations of the complaint, see Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678, 129 S.Ct. 1937, 173 L.Ed.2d 868 (2009), and liberally construes the pleádings such that the plaintiff benefits from all inferences derived from the facts alleged, Barr v. Clinton, 370 F.3d 1196, 1199 (D.C.Cir.2004). However, “[a] pleading that offers labels and conclusions or a formulaic recitation of the elements of a cause of action will not do. Nor does a complaint suffice if it tenders naked assertions devoid of further factual enhancement.” Iqbal, 556 U.S. at 678, 129 S.Ct. 1937 (internal citations, quotation marks and brackets omitted). When the inquiry focuses on the Court’s power to hear..the claim, “the Court may give the plaintiffs factual allegations closer scrutiny and may consider materials outside the pleadings.” Logan, 357 F.Supp.2d at 153 (citing Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(1); Herbert v. Nat’l Academy of Scis., 974 F.2d 192, 197 (D.C.Cir.1992); Grand Lodge of Fraternal Order of Police v. Ashcroft, 185 F.Supp.2d 9, 13 (D.D.C.2001)).
b. Rule 12(b)(6)
A motion to dismiss under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) tests the legal sufficiency of a complaint. Browning v. Clinton, 292 F.3d 235, 242 (D.C.Cir.2002). A complaint must contain “a short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief, in order to give the defendant fair notice of,what the ... claim is and the grounds upon which it rests.” Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 555, 127 S.Ct. 1955, 167 L.Ed.2d 929 (2007) (internal quotation marks and citations omitted). While detailed factual allegations are not necessary, plaintiff must plead enough facts “to raise a right to relief above the speculative level.” Id.
When ruling on a Rule 12(b)(6) motion, the Court may consider “the facts alleged in the complaint, documents attached as exhibits or incorporated by reference in the complaint, and matters about which the Court may take judicial notice:” Gustave-Schmidt v. Chao, 226 F.Supp.2d 191, 196 (D.D.C.2002). The Court must construe the complaint liberally in plaintiffs favor and grant plaintiff the benefit of all reasonable inferences deriving from the cómplaint. Kowal v. MCI Commc’ns Corp., 16 F.3d 1271, 1276 (D.C.Cir.1994). However, the Court must not accept plaintiffs inferences that áre “unsupported by the facts set out in the complaint.” Id. “[0]nly a complaint that states a plausible claim for relief survives a motion to dismiss.” Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 679, 129 S.Ct. 1937, 173 L.Ed.2d 868 (2009).
*277III. DISCUSSION
a. Standing
As an initial matter, it does.not appear that plaintiff has standing to bring its claims. Lack of standing is a defect in subject matter jurisdiction. See Haase v. Sessions, 835 F.2d 902, 906 (D.C.Cir.1987). To establish Article III standing at the pleading stage, a plaintiff bears the burden of pleading that: “(1) it has suffered an ‘injury in fact’ that is (a) concrete and particularized and (b) actual or imminent, not conjectural or hypothetical; (2) the injury is fairly traceable to the challenged action of the defendant^]; and (3) it is likely, as opposed to merely speculative, that the injury will be redressed by a favorable decision.” Friends of the Earth, Inc. v. Laidlaw Envtl. Servs., 528 U.S. 167, 180-81, 120 S.Ct. 693, 145 L.Ed.2d 610 (2000) (citing Lujan v. Defenders of Wildlife, 504 U.S. 555, 560-61, 112 S.Ct. 2130, 119 L.Ed.2d 351 (1992)). “This triad of injury in fact, causation, and redressability constitutes the core of Article Ill’s case- or-controversy requirement, and the party invoking federal jurisdiction bears the burden of establishing its existence.” Steel Co. v. Citizens for a Better Env’t, 523 U.S. 83, 103-04, 118 S.Ct. 1003, 140 L.Ed.2d 210 (1998).
Plaintiffs claims face a fundamental threshold problem: it is entirely unclear whether the plaintiff entity the “Historic Eastern Pequots” was affected in any way whatsoever by the RFD. Plaintiff initially brought its claims as the “Eastern Pequot Tribal Nation” but substituted the “Historic Eastern Pequots” as plaintiff after the Chief of the Eastern Pequot Tribal Nation disclaimed the lawsuit. In its motion to substitute, counsel for the Historic Eastern Pequots set forth a detailed history of intra-tribal disputes regarding federal recognition but those allegations shed no light on whether the “Historic Eastern Pequots” is a separate entity or can stand in the shoes of the entities subject to the RFD. ECF No. 3. Defendants argue, predominantly in a footnote, that the Historic Eastern Pequots lack standing to challenge the RFD because plaintiffs relationship to the Eastern Pequot Tribal Nation is unclear. Defs.’ Mot. at 2, n. 1-3 (citing Lujan, 504 U.S. at 560-61,112 S.Ct. 2130). The State of Connecticut, participating as Amicus Curiae, suggests that the lawsuit appears to arise out of an intra-tribal dispute over the appropriate response of the tribe to the RFD. See Brief of the State of Conn, at 8 (discussing allegations regarding the Tribal Council’s reluctance to challenge the denial of the RFD). In its opposition, plaintiff wholly fails to address the standing issue. Oh reply, defendants argue, again predominantly in a footnote, that plaintiff failed to adequately respond to the arguments in the motion to dismiss regarding standing and that the Court could dismiss the complaint on that ground alone. D.efs.’ Reply at 1, n. 3.
At this stage in the litigation, the record is far from clear' as to whether the “Historic Eastern Pequots” is the same entity as any of the entities, who were affected by the RFD. The RFD states that the “Eastern Pequot Indians 'of Connecticut (EP) and the Paucatuck Eastern Pequot Indians of Connecticut (PEP) do not satisfy all seven mandatory criteria for acknowledgement in 25 C.F.R. 83.7.” See 70 Fed.Reg. 60,099-01. The RFD also states that the FD, issued in 2002, had determined that the EP and the PEP would be acknowledged to be one group, the “Historical Eastern Pequot Tribe.” See 67 Fed.Reg. 44234-02. The various names used in the RFD raise several issues, none of which have been adequately addressed by plaintiff. Is the plaintiff, “Historic Eastern Pequots,” the same entity as the “Historical Eastern Pequot Tribe” mentioned in *278the FD? The record is very unclear. Plaintiff has further complicated the issue by referring to itself (or possibly other distinct tribes) in the complaint by various names. For example, the complaint makes allegations as to the “Historic Eastern Pequots,” (Compl. ¶ 1), the “Historic Eastern Pequot Tribe,” (Compl. ¶ 2), the “Eastern Pequot Tribe,” (Id.), the “Eastern Pequots of Connecticut,” (Compl. ¶ 9), and the “Eastern Pequot Indians of Connecticut” (Compl. ¶ 18). Plaintiff does not adequately address its relationship to any of these entities. Nor does plaintiff address the fact that the Eastern Pequot Tribal Nation has expressly disclaimed this lawsuit, causing plaintiff to refile the complaint under the name “Historic Eastern Pequots.” Ultimately, however, plaintiff bears the burden of establishing that it has standing to invoke the Court’s subject matter jurisdiction, and plaintiff has failed to do so here.3 Accordingly, the Court finds that plaintiff has failed to meet its burden of pleading that it has standing, and the Court therefore lacks subject matter jurisdiction over this case. See Lujan, 504 U.S. at 561, 112 S.Ct. 2130.4
b. Counts I through VII
In Counts I through VII of the amended complaint, plaintiff challenges the RFD issued by the IBIA and argues that the decision violated the Administrative Procedure Act and plaintiffs constitutional rights. In response, defendants argue that the Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction over Counts I through VII because those claims were not brought within the applicable statute of limitations.
Plaintiff alleges that this Court has jurisdiction pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. §§ 702-706 (“APA”). Am. Compl. ¶ 4.4 5 *****Oil.The APA provides a waiver of sovereign immunity, stating that “[a] person suffering legal wrong because of agency action, or adversely affected or aggrieved by agency action within the meaning of a relevant statute, is entitled to judicial review thereof.” 5 U.S.C. § 702. This waiver of sovereign immunity is limited, however, by the applicable statute of limitations. Specifically, under 28 U.S.C. § 2401(a) “every civil action commenced against the United *279States shall be barred unless the complaint is filed within six years after the right of action first accrues.” Limitations and conditions upon which the federal government consents to be sued will be strictly construed in favor of the sovereign. Al-Aulaqi v. Obama, 727 F.Supp.2d 1, 41 (D.D.C.2010) (citing Soriano v. United States, 352 U.S. 270, 276, 77 S.Ct. 269, 1 L.Ed.2d 306 (1957)); see Block v. North Dakota, 461 U.S. 273, 287, 103 S.Ct. 1811, 75 L.Ed.2d 840 (1983) (holding that when Congress attaches conditions to legislation waiving the sovereign immunity of the United States, “those conditions must be strictly observed, and exceptions thereto are not to be lightly implied”). Accordingly, the Court has subject matter jurisdiction over plaintiffs claim only if it was brought within the six-year statute of limitations.
Defendant argues that the statute of limitations in this action expired on October 14, 2011, six years after the publication of the RFD on October 14, 2005. The Court agrees. A cause of action against an administrative agency first accrues as soon as the plaintiff may institute and maintain an action in court. See Impro Prods., Inc. v. Block, 722 F.2d 845, 850 (D.C.Cir.1983); Spannaus v. Dep’t of Justice, 824 F.2d 52, 56 (D.C.Cir.1987) (“A cause of action ... ‘first accrues,’ within the meaning of § 2401(a), as soon as ... the person challenging the agency action can institute and maintain a suit in court.”). In Counts I through VII of the amended complaint, plaintiff challenges the RFD issued by the Associate Deputy Secretary, notice of which was published in the Federal Register on October 14, 2005. The notice of the RFD expressly stated that it was “final and effective upon the date of publication of this notice, pursuant to 25 C.F.R. § 83.11(h)(3).” See 70 Fed. Reg. 60,099-01 (Oct. 14, 2005). 25 C.F.R. Section 83.11(h)(3) provides that “[i]f a determination is reconsidered by the Assistant Secretary because of action by the Board remanding a decision or because the Secretary has requested reconsideration, the reconsidered determination shall be final and effective upon publication of the notice of this reconsidered determination in the Federal Register.”
Critically, the regulations do not provide for further reconsideration of a Reconsidered Final Determination. Plaintiffs request for reconsideration, submitted to the IBIA on January 12, 2006, therefore did not act to toll the statute of limitations for. the filing of an action challenging the RFD because an agency’s refusal to reconsider a final agency action does not create a new final agency action. See Impro. Prods., 722 F.2d at 851 (citing Provisioners Frozen Express, Inc. v. ICC, 536 F.2d 1303, 1305 (9th Cir.1976)). As the IBIA explained, it only has jurisdiction to review requests for reconsideration of Final Determinations, not Reconsidered Final Determinations. 42 IBIA 133. Thus,, because plaintiffs request for reconsideration of the Reconsidered Final Determination had no effect on the finality of the RFD, plaintiff was required to bring this action within six years of the issuance of the RFD, or by October 14, 2011. Plaintiffs initial complaint, which was not filed until January 13, 2012, exceeded that time period by three months.
i. The Statute of Limitations Should Not Be Tolled
Plaintiff argues that the statute of limitations should be tolled for several reasons, none of which have merit. Plaintiff first argues that it is protected by the Non-Intercourse Act, 25 U.S.C. § 177, which restricts the alienation of Indian land without Congressional approval. The Act provides' that “[n]o purchase, grant, lease, or other conveyance of lands, or of any title or claim thereto, from any Indian *280nation or tribe of Indians, shall be of any validity in law or equity, unless the same be made by treaty or convention entered into pursuant to the Constitution.” Plaintiff appears to seek to re-charaeterize its claims as arising under the Non-Intercourse Act.
As an initial matter, however, the complaint does not allege any specific claims under the Non-Intercourse Act, and only makes passing references to the Act.6 None of the claims arise under the Non-Intercourse Act, nor has plaintiff alleged that jurisdiction would be proper under the Act. Rather, plaintiff appears to argue that the denial of tribal status in the RFD was an arbitrary and capricious agency action under the APA, and that it had various negative effects, including that it is contrary to the legislative intent of the Non-Intercourse Act.
Even' if plaintiff had alleged that the defendants had violated the Non-Intercourse Act, however, plaintiff has failed to establish a prima facie case under the Act. In order to do so, a plaintiff must show, among other things, that it is an Indian tribe. Golden Hill Paugussett Tribe v. Weicker, 39 F.3d 51, 56 (2d Cir.1994). As plaintiffs contend, recognition by the IBIA is not the sole means of establishing tribal status for purposes of the Act. Joint Tribal Council of the Passamaquoddy Tribe v. Morton, 528 F.2d 370 (1st Cir.1975) ([‘There is nothing in the Act to suggest that ‘tribe’ is to be read to exclude a bona fide tribe not otherwise federally recognized.”). • Courts may, however, defer resolution of tribal status to the IBIA. BGA, LLC v. Ulster County, N.Y., 2010 WL 3338958, at *9 (N.D.N.Y. Aug. 24, 2010) (citing Golden Hill Paugussett Tribe, 39 F.3d at 59). Deferral is particularly warranted where a plaintiff has already invoked the IBIA’s authority. See Golden Hill Paugussett Tribe, 39 F.3d at 60 (declining to decide whether plaintiff was an Indian tribe when plaintiff had a pending application for recognition with the IBIA). Here, plaintiff has expressly been found not to be a tribe by the IBIA.7 Unlike the case on which plaintiff principally relies, Joint Tribal Council of the Passamaquoddy Tribe, the parties have not stipulated that plaintiff is a tribe. See *281528 F.2d at 370. Under these circumstances, the Court declines to invade the province of the IBIA to determine whether plaintiff or any related entities are tribes, particularly when the IBIA has already spoken on the issue. In any event, plaintiff has failed to cite any , case law supporting its argument that the Non-Intercourse Act would toll the statute of limitations in this case.8 Accordingly, the Court finds that plaintiffs references to the Non-Intercourse Act do not toll the statute of limitations for challenging the RFD.
Plaintiff also argues that the statute of limitations should be tolled because the complaint alleges “ongoing breaches of trust.” In their reply, .defendants characterize this argument as arising under the continuing claims doctrine. The continuing claims doctrine “applies when the government owes a continuing duty to the plaintiffs ... [such that] [e]ach- time the government breaches the duty, a new cause of action arises.” Boling v. United States, 220 F.3d 1365, 1373-74 (Fed.Cir.2000) (noting that the doctrine does not apply where a single governmental action causes a series of deleterious effects). In this case, however, the statute of limitations under Section 2401(a) is jurisdictional and cannot be tolled “by the application of judicially recognized exceptions ... such as waiver, estoppel, equitable tolling, fraudulent concealment, the discovery rule, and the continuing violations doctrine.” Terry v. U.S. Small Bus. Admin., 699 F.Supp.2d 49, 54 (D.D.C.2010) (quoting Felter v. Norton, 412 F.Supp.2d 118, 122 (D.D.C.2006)); see also W. Va. Highlands Conservancy v. Johnson, 540 F.Supp.2d 125, 143 (D.D.C.2008) (EPA’s continued failure to file report after, publication deadline as required by regulations did not toll statute of limitations because of jurisdictional nature of the limitations period). Here, Section 2401(a) is jurisdictional and required plaintiff to file its claim within six years of the RFD. Because plaintiffs claim was filed three' months late, this court lacks subject matter jurisdiction over plaintiffs claims.9
Accordingly, for the reasons explained above, Counts I through VII of the amended complaint were not timely filed and the Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction to review them. Counts I through VII will therefore be DISMISSED.
c. Counts VIII and IX
Count VIII alleges that defendants have “tortiously harmed plaintiffs efforts to engage in lawful commerce” by failing to properly regulate gaming among Indian tribes in the State of Connecticut. Count VIII also purports to allege a violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act. Count IX alleges that defendants’ negligent regulation of gaming has tortiously interfered with plaintiffs business expectancy. . Defendants argue that Counts VIII and IX should be dismissed for lack of subject *282matter jurisdiction and because they fail to state a claim.
As an initial matter, plaintiff does not make clear the jurisdictional basis of its tort claims in Counts VIII and IX. In the jurisdictional allegations in the complaint, plaintiff alleges that jurisdiction is proper under 5 U.S.C. § 702, the Administrative Procedure Act, and 28 U.S.C. § 1337, which states that “district courts shall have original jurisdiction of any civil action or proceeding arising under any Act of Congress regulating commerce....”10 In the complaint, plaintiff alleges that jurisdiction is proper under Section 1337 because the case relates to “congressional acts regulating commerce with Indian tribes.” These allegations were made generally, however, and plaintiff does not identify the specific jurisdictional basis for Counts VIII and IX.
Defendants argue that because plaintiffs claims sound in tort and seek money damages, jurisdiction is not proper under the APA. See 5 U.S.C. § 702 (providing relief “other than money damages”); Benoit v. U.S. Dep’t of Agric., 608 F.3d 17, 20 (D.C.Cir.2010) (holding that suits for money damages are not within the limited waiver of sovereign immunity found in the APA). The Court agrees. Furthermore, plaintiff does not specifically respond to this argument in its opposition to the motion to dismiss. Rather, plaintiffs opposition alleges that the applicable statutes of limitation should be tolled, an argument that fails for the reasons explained above. Because plaintiff failed to respond to defendants’ argument that the APA does not apply at all to Counts VIII and IX, the Court will deem the argument to be conceded. See Hopkins v. Women’s Div., Gen. Bd. of Global Ministries, 238 F.Supp.2d 174, 178 (D.D.C.2002) (citing FDIC n Bender, 127 F.3d 58, 67-68 (D.C.Cir.1997)) (“It is well understood in this Circuit that when a plaintiff files an opposition to a motion to dismiss addressing only certain arguments raised by the defendant, a court may treat those arguments that the plaintiff failed to address as conceded.”).11
Plaintiff also failed to respond to defendants’ alternative argument under the Federal Toft Claims Act, 28 U.S.C. §§ 2679, et seq. (“FTCA”). Even though plaintiff did not allege the FTCA as a basis for jurisdiction over its tort claims, defendants argue that that jurisdiction would not be proper under the FTCA because plaintiff has failed to allege that its complaint was timely filed or that plaintiff exhausted its administrative remedies under the FTCA. The FTCA permits the recovery of money damages from the government for claims sounding in tort under limited circumstances. Specifically, claims under the FTCA are “forever barred unless ... presented in writing to the appropriate federal agency within two years after such claim accrues.” Id. Defendants contend that because plaintiff did not plead that it had exhausted its administrative *283remedies, as to the torts alleged in Counts VIII and IX, the claims should be dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. See McNeil v. United States, 508 U.S. 106, 113, 113 S.Ct. 1980, 124 L.Ed.2d 21 (1993) (affirming dismissal for lack of subject matter jurisdiction where the petitioner filed his FTCA claim before presenting his claim to the appropriate federal agency); Upshaw v. United States, 669 F.Supp.2d 32, 45 (D.D.C.2009) (dismissing for lack of subject matter jurisdiction where plaintiff failed to plead that he presented his claim to the appropriate federal agency). Plaintiff failed to respond to this argument and the Court deems it to be conceded. See Hopkins, 238 F.Supp.2d at 178. Accordingly, the Court finds that plaintiff has conceded the issue of exhaustion under the FTCA and the Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction over the claims to the extent they seek relief under the FTCA.
Plaintiffs remaining jurisdictional allegation is also insufficient to establish that this Court has subject matter jurisdiction over this case. Plaintiff alleges generally that subject matter jurisdiction is appropriate over the entire case under 28 U.S.C. § 1337, which provides that federal district courts will have jurisdiction over proceedings arising from acts of Congress. The statute does not, however, contain an express waiver of sovereign immunity, see. 28 U.S.C. § 1337, and plaintiff has failed to allege how a waiver might exist in this case. Plaintiff bears the burden, however, of establishing by a preponderance of the evidence that the Court possesses jurisdiction over its case. Roum v. Bush, 461 F.Supp.2d 40, 45 (D.D.C.2006). This is particularly important in actions involving agencies of the government or employees of the. government acting in their official capacities, because they are immune from suit unless that immunity has been expressly waived. Id. (citing Albrecht v. Comm. on Empl. Benefits of Fed. Reserve Empl. Benefits Sys., 357 F.3d 62, 67 (D.C.Cir.2004) and Clark v. Library of Cong., 750 F.2d 89, 102-04 (D.C.Cir.1984)). Here, because plaintiff has not set forth any basis for a waiver of sovereign immunity under 28 U.S.C. § 1337, the Court finds that plaintiff has not established its burden of establishing that the Court has jurisdiction under that statute.12
Finally, plaintiff has not alleged that any of the other statutes cited in Counts VIII and IX grant a waiver of sovereign immunity. For example, in Count VIII, plaintiff alleges that defendants violated the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (“IGRA”), 25 U.S.C. § 2701. Plaintiff does not allege, however, that the IGRA provides a waiver of sovereign immunity or a private right of action against the federal government or its employees. Similarly, plaintiff does not allege that the- Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1, et seq., exposes the United States to liability, nor does it appear to do so. Sea-Land Serv., Inc. v. Alaska R.R., 659 F.2d 243, 245 (D.C.Cir.1981) (“The Sherman Act, we conclude, does not expose United States instrumentalities to liability, whether legal or equitable in character, for conduct alleged to violate antitrust constraints.”). Accordingly, plaintiff has failed to carry its burden of establishing subject matter jurisdiction by a preponderance of the evidence, and the Court finds that it lacks subject matter jurisdiction over Counts VIII and IX.
*284Accordingly, the Court will DISMISS Counts VIII and IX for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
IV. CONCLUSION
For the foregoing reasons, defendants’ Motion to Dismiss is GRANTED. Because the Court’s decision dismisses the case, the Court will DENY as moot defendants’ alternative motion to transfer the case to the District of Connecticut. An appropriate Order accompanies this Memorandum Opinion.
