 SJC-10916
John Doe v. Edward Davis & others

The plaintiff was classified as a Level III sex offender. He challenges the constitutionality of portions of G. L. c. 6, §　178K(e)(2), as applied to him; he contends that the statute would subject him to criminal penalties and forbid him from living in a particular long-term care facility where he has resided without incident for two years.

Interested parties may file their briefs in the Office of the Clerk for the Commonwealth, John Adams Courthouse, Suite 1-400, Pemberton Square, Boston MA 02108-1724 (Telephone 617-557-1020). Parties filing amicus briefs are expected to comply with the requirements of Rules 17, 19 and 20 of Mass. Rules of Appellate Procedure. Amicus briefs, to assist the court, should focus on the ramifications of a decision and not solely on the interests of the parties filing such briefs.
