Opinion

No. 06-1619-pr.

February 23, 2007.

UPON DUE CONSIDERATION of this appeal from a judgment entered in the United States District Court for the Western District of New York (Larimer, J.), it is hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.

Jonathan Johnson, Pro se, for plaintiff-appellant.

Julie M. Sheridan (of counsel) and Andrea Oser, Assistant Solicitors General, for Eliot Spitzer, Attorney General of New York, for defendants-appellees.

PRESENT: Hon. WALKER, Hon. GUIDO CALABRESI, Circuit Judges, Hon. DENISE COTE, District Judge.

The Honorable Denise Cote, of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, sitting by designation.


SUMMARY ORDER

Plaintiff-appellant Jonathan Johnson pro se appeals the district court's grant of summary judgment against his Amended Complaint, which was brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against defendants-appellees Correction Officer Coleman, Correction Officer Jayne, Sergeant Frost, Sergeant Hannah, and several unknown defendants-appellees. Johnson v. Hannah, 421 F.Supp.2d 604 (W.D.N.Y. 2006). We presume the parties' familiarity with the facts, the procedural history, and the scope of the issues presented on appeal.

We review the district court's grant of summary judgment de novo. State St. Bank Trust Co. v. Salovaara, 326 F.3d 130, 135 (2d Cir. 2003). A dispute regarding a material fact is genuine "if the evidence is such that a reasonable jury could return a verdict for the nonmoving party." Stuart v. Am. Cyanamid Co., 158 F.3d 622, 626 (2d Cir. 1998) (quoting Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 248, 106 S.Ct. 2505, 91 L.Ed.2d 202 (1986)).

We affirm for substantially the reasons given by the district court in its opinion. We have carefully considered all of Johnson's arguments and find them to be without merit. The judgment of the district court is therefore AFFIRMED.
