U.S. District Court Magistrate Judge Joaquin V.E. Manibusan Jr. on Tuesday raised concerns anew on whether the federal court has jurisdiction over another batch of clergy sex abuse cases.
The cases include those filed against former Rev. David Anderson and Archbishop Anthony S. Apuron, both accused of raping and sexually abusing former altar boys.
Attorney David Lujan, counsel for former altar boys accusing Apuron and Anderson, asked for, and was granted, unt9l to June 2 to file a position paper proving court jurisdiction.
During Tuesday’s scheduling conference, Manibusan cited the case filed by the estate of the now-deceased former altar boy Joseph “Sonny” Quinata, who died in Hawaii, in 2005. The judge also sought stipulation as to where the other plaintiffs live.
