DARBY v. MEREDITH (2018)

United States Court of Appeals, Second Circuit.

John F. DARBY, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. Robert J. MEREDITH Defendant-Appellee.

17-1788-cv

Decided: October 17, 2018

PRESENT: José A. Cabranes, Barrington D. Parker, Circuit Judges. Kiyo Matsumoto, District Judge.*

FOR PLAINTIFF-APPELLANT: John F. Darby, pro se, Brooklyn, CT. FOR DEFENDANT-APPELLEE: No appearance.

SUMMARY ORDER

Appellant John F. Darby, proceeding pro se, appeals the District Court’s sua sponte dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint against Special Public Defender Robert J. Meredith for failure to state a claim. We assume the parties’ familiarity with the underlying facts, the procedural history of the case, and the issues on appeal. After reviewing the record, we affirm the District Court’s judgment for substantially the same reasons as those given by the District Court in its May 2, 2017 Initial Review Order. Darby v. Meredith, No. 3:17-CV-591 (VAB), 2017 WL 1702498 (D. Conn. May 2, 2017).

CONCLUSION

We have reviewed all of the arguments raised by Darby on appeal and find them to be without merit. The May 4, 2017 judgment of the District Court is AFFIRMED.
