Supreme Judicial Court

Parties: IN THE MATTER OF JAMES MURRAY[1] Docket: SJC-13872 Dates: May 8, 2026 Present: County:
Keywords: Supreme Judicial Court.

      The petitioner, James Murray, also known as James Hines, appeals from a judgment of a single justice of this court denying his petition in equity pursuant to G. L. c. 214, § 1, in which he sought to be appointed to this court's standing committee on pro bono legal services and to the Board of Bar Examiners.  We have reviewed the entire record before the single justice[2] and discern no basis on which he should have granted the petitioner's requests.  To the extent that the petitioner's brief contains additional requests that were not before the single justice, we do not consider them.  The single justice neither erred nor abused his discretion by denying the petition.

Judgment affirmed.

      The case was submitted on briefs.

      James Murray, pro se.
