Sheriff v. Gardner, No. 2:21-cv-00115 (D. Me. Apr. 6, 2022). “, PageID # 221 (citing 14 M.R.S.A. § 6702).) For present purposes, it is enough to say that the Court does not construe the Amended Complaint to invoke section 6701, especially in light of Plaintiffs’ clearly stated response that this “case is not about the right of entry.”
