Maureen Hamilton, Administratrix of the Estate of John B. Hamilton v. United States

U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit September 22, 1983

Maureen Hamilton, Administratrix of the Estate of John B. Hamilton v. United States, 719 F.2d 1 (1st Cir. 1983)

1983 U.S. App. LEXIS 16633

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

We agree with the district court, 564 F.Supp. 1146, that the Feres doctrine bars this action. Under the facts, we cannot recognize a duty to follow up because this would mean creating continuous onsets of new causes of action extending beyond the period of active service.

Affirmed.
