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

Court of Appeals for the First Circuit

Decided September 22, 1983No. 83-1358PublishedCited by 2 opinions

1Per 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.
