Ainooson v. Dep’t of Corr.
Annotate this CaseJustice Ainooson commenced an action in the superior court against several individual defendants. After an extension of time to effect service was allowed, Ainooson moved to waive service or to deem the defendants served. The judge allowed the motion but then vacated her allowance after the defendants filed a motion for reconsideration. A different judge then ordered Ainooson to make service by regular mail at his own expense with no further extensions allowed. Ainooson filed a Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 211, 3 petition challenging the rulings. Before the single justice ruled on the petition, the superior court dismissed the complaint. The single justice denied extraordinary relief. The Supreme Judicial Court affirmed, holding that the single justice neither erred nor abused his discretion in denying extraordinary relief.
