Mmoe v. Commonwealth
Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
Decided January 10, 1985PublishedCited by 59 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtO’Connor, J.
We consider a challenge to an order of a judge of the Superior Court denying a motion to dismiss. The defendants allege that Mmoe’s amended complaint violates the requirements of Mass. R. Civ. P. 8 (a) & (e), 365 Mass. 749 (1974), and 10 (b), 365 Mass. 752 (1974). We reverse and remand the case to the Superior Court.
