ROBERT T. BEVILL,

Plaintiff, Appellant,

v.

SPRINT COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY, L.P.,

Defendant, Appellee.

APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

[Hon. Steven J. McAuliffe, U.S. District Judge]

Before

Boudin, Chief Judge, Stahl, Senior Circuit Judge, and Lynch, Circuit Judge.

Robert T. Bevill on brief pro se. R. Matthew Cairns and Ransmeier & Spellman, P.C. and Mark D. Hinderks and Stinson Morrison Hecker LLP on brief for appellee.

January 5, 2006 Per Curiam. After carefully considering the briefs and record

on appeal, we affirm the judgment of the district court. Among

other problems, the appellant has no standing to litigate claims

that belong to a corporation. Moreover, he has no right to

litigate claims in this circuit that are integral to a suit already

filed elsewhere, and he makes no showing that the actions are

distinct. See, e.g., Montana v. United States, 440 U.S. 147, 153-

154 (1979)(describing the deleterious effects of repetitive suits);

Congress Credit Corp. v. AJC Intern., Inc., 42 F.3d 686, 689 (1st

Cir. 1994)(repetitive actions may be dismissed); Gonzalez v. Banco

Cent. Corp., 27 F.3d 751, 275-6 (1st Cir. 1994).

Affirmed. 1st Cir. R. 27(c).
