Veale et al v. Furness et al

Filing 5

ORDER granting 4 Motion for Leave to File Complaint entitled "Veale, et al v. Rober T. Furness, DVM, et al" (received by the Court on 9/23/09). Plaintiffs' complaint will be docketed. So Ordered by Chief Judge Steven J. McAuliffe. (jeb)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF NEW HAMPSHIRE David T. Veale and Scott W. Veale, Plaintiffs v. Robert T. Furness, DVM, et al., Defendants ORDER Plaintiffs are restricted filers and must obtain leave of court before filing any new complaint. 1, 1999, Civil No. 02-020-M. Having reviewed the proposed complaint, it is apparent that the subject matter differs from, and is unrelated to, the previous litigation that led to the order restricting plaintiffs' filings. Accordingly, plaintiffs' complaint will be docketed. See Order dated September Case No. ___________

That is not to say, however, that the complaint properly invokes federal jurisdiction (complete diversity seems absent and the federal claim is doubtful) or is of any merit; merely that the complaint does not involve any issues previously litigated. (In 2006, a similar complaint was filed by David Veale against two of the defendants named here, but involved a different pet -- civil docket no. 06-cv-419). The complaint will be reviewed in the normal course before service is allowed.

SO ORDERED.
