Bevill v. Sprint Communication

Not For Publication in West's Federal Reporter Citation Limited Pursuant to 1st Cir. Loc. R. 32.3 United States Court of Appeals For the First Circuit No. 05-1704 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). -2-
