559 U.S. at 165 (holding that 17 U.S.C. 411(a) "does not speak in jurisdictional terms or refer in any way to the jurisdiction of the district courts" (citation omitted)); Kontrick v. Ryan, 540 U.S. 443, 454 (2004) (holding that "the filing deadline[] prescribed in Bankruptcy Rule[] 4004 . . . do[es] not delineate what cases bankruptcy courts are competent to adjudicate").³⁴ These cases stand for the general proposition identified above: If the statutory text does not mandate dismissal as the consequence for noncompliance, the courts should not read the statute as having jurisdictional consequences (i.e. mandatory dismissal without exception).
