1st Cir. | 1983-09-22
No. 83-1358

719 F.2d 1 United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit (1983) Positive Treatment
Cited by 18 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

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.
