If a claimant seeks to appeal the denial by the Secretary of a claimed R.S. 2477 right-of-way under this Act, the claimant shall file an appeal of the denial in the district court of the United States for the judicial district in which the longest lineal segment of the claimed R.S. 2477 right-of-way is located. A district court described in paragraph

(1)shall have the exclusive jurisdiction to decide the appeal on the record before the Secretary regarding the claimed R.S. 2477 right-of-way, subject only to appeal or review on the record by a court with appropriate Federal appellate jurisdiction. Any action initiated under subsection

(a)shall be filed not later than 30 days after the date on which the Secretary provides written notice to the claimant of the denial by the Secretary of the claimed R.S. 2477 right-of-way. Nothing in this Act affects a final settlement or final judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction before the date of enactment of this Act in which the United States was a party in determining rights to a R.S. 2477 right-of-way. Subject to this section and section 5, Federal court actions to quiet R.S. 2477 titles that involve R.S. 2477 claims previously filed under this Act in which a disclaimer and relinquishment are pending or have been issued are null and void. Any quiet title action not prohibited under paragraph

(1)shall be filed during or before the date described in section 4(a)(1).
