Court of Appeals for the First Circuit May 13, 1975, 75-1023 (William L. Donnelly v. Jane P. Donnelly)

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

This is an appeal from the district court’s dismissal of a petition for a writ of habeas corpus by which the petitioner sought visiting rights with his children. The suspension of visiting rights was ordered by the Massachusetts probate court which was supervising the divorce of the parents. This is at base a challenge to the state’s authority to resolve the domestic dispute.
