Grendall v. Town of Frankfort
547 A.2d 635; 1988 Me. LEXIS 239
(Atlantic Reporter, Second Series)
Grendall v. Town of Frankfort
Opinion of the Court
Preston Grendall appeals from the judgment of the Superior Court, Waldo County, dismissing his complaint for insufficiency of process. Grendall contends that a summons issued by a clerk of a Massachusetts court may be used to initiate an action in the Maine Superior Court or, in the alternative, that he was entitled to equitable relief under M.R.Civ.P. 60(b). Because 4 M.R.S. A. § 108 (1979) requires that Superior Court summonses “be in the name of the State [of Maine] under the seal of said court” and because Grendall’s 60(b) motion sets forth no ground for equitable relief, we affirm the dismissal.
The entry is:
