Court of Appeals for the First Circuit·Decided September 22, 1983·No. 83-1358·Published·Cited by 2 cases
Opinion
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.
