Alex A. Tarabolski v. Donald Williams

Practice, Criminal, Complaint. Judge. The plaintiff, Alex A. Tarabolski, sought criminal complaints against the defendant, Donald Williams, in the Stoughton Division of the District Court Department. He alleged that the defendant, a Sharon police officer, committed the crimes of breaking and entering, kidnapping, and false imprisonment. After a hearing, a Judge of the District Court denied the plaintiff's request for the issuance of criminal complaints. Pursuant to G. L. c. 211, § 3 (1992 ed.), the plaintiff petitioned a single Justice of this court seeking a reversal of the District Court Judge's determination. The plaintiff also asserts that the District Court Judge should have disqualified himself. The plaintiff asks that this matter be remanded ""to Norfolk Superior Court for further proceedings and allow a trial on the criminal complaints."" The single Justice denied the plaintiff's G. L. c. 211, § 3, petition. The plaintiff appealed to the full court.
