J. Saris partially denies a state child advocacy organization’s motion to dismiss claims brought against it by the parents of children who were removed from their custody without a warrant after an emergency room doctor saw that the parents’ youngest child had rib fractures. The parents did not consent to entry of their home and were threatened with force, the children’s pediatrician had no concerns about either of their children and there was plenty of time to get a warrant or court order.

J. Saris denies in part the American Red Cross’s motion to dismiss antitrust and defamation claims brought against it by a biomedical company for allegedly monopolizing mitigation services by using another company’s pathogen reduction treatment on all of the blood platelets it sells. All of the antitrust claims are dismissed, as well as one of the defamation claims, but two of the defamation claims are not because the biomedical company adequately pleads that it made deceptive statements in Massachusetts to the biomedical company’s Massachusetts customers in an FAQ and newsletter.

J. Saris grants police officers’ motion for summary judgment against a couple suing them for illegally arresting and using excessive force against the man of the couple. The man’s claim that the officers falsely arrested him is incorrect because he was arrested for and convicted of failing to stop for a police officer, and the claim must be dismissed since his conviction hasn’t been invalidated. His equal protection claim doesn’t stand because that would require recognizing a direct cause of action under the Massachusetts Declaration of Rights, which would mean developing and expanding upon state law.
