209A ("the 209A Order") preventing Jonielunas from visiting his children without court-approved supervision. Based, in part, on that allegation, Dube successfully requested that the Probate Court suspend Jonielunas's visitation rights and obtained an order, pursuant to M.G.L.C. In 1997, Dube alleged that Jonielunas had sexually abused one or both of his children. At the time of their divorce, the Jonielunases had two minor children, Lauren and Colin. In August 1994, Jonielunas filed a complaint for, and eventually obtained, a divorce from his wife, Nancy Jonielunas, who has since remarried and become Nancy Dube ("Dube"). Following his retirement, Jonielunas worked as a licensed firearms salesman, most recently at the Village Gun Shop in Northboro. Jonielunas was employed by the City as a police officer from July 1977 until a 1980 motorcycle accident forced his eventual retirement from the police department in 1990. Not to be outdone, Plaintiff Neil Jonielunas ("Jonielunas") moves for attorney's fees and related costs to which the Defendants counter with a vigorously contested Motion to Strike.īy way of a complaint filed in Worcester Superior Court and removed to this Court in November, 2000, Jonielunas alleged various intentional torts and violations of his state and federal civil rights by the City of Worcester ("the City") and certain members of its police department. As this Gordian knot persists into the post-trial stage, the remaining individual and municipal defendants renew their Motion for Judgment as a Matter of Law.
