Description
This court, notwithstanding the fact that the case had been rendered moot by the expiration of an abuse prevention order issued by a District Court Judge under G. L. c. 209A, apparently without the defendant having violated it, concluded that it would answer two reported questions raising doubt as to whether Massachusetts Judges have the authority to issue c. 209A orders intended to be effective and enforceable in various areas ceded to the Federal government. [23-24] A District Court Judge was not precluded from issuing an abuse prevention order under G. L. c. 209A, solely because the plaintiff is a member of the armed services residing and working at Fort Devens, an area that Massachusetts has ceded to the United States, and, in the absence of any indication that such an order interfered with the jurisdiction asserted by the Federal government, the order was lawfully effective within the confines of Fort Devens.
