Kennedy v. Hartford Ins. Co.

United States Court of Appeals, Second Circuit
Dec 3, 2010
402 F. App'x 610 (2d Cir. 2010)

Opinion

No. 09-4496-cv.

December 3, 2010.

UPON DUE CONSIDERATION, it is hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the district court judgment is AFFIRMED.

Nikita Kennedy, pro se, Brooklyn, New York, for Appellant.

Kevin G. Horbatiuk, Russo, Keane Toner, LLP, New York, New York, for Appellee.

PRESENT: AMALYA L. KEARSE, ROBERT D. SACK, GERARD E. LYNCH, Circuit Judges.



SUMMARY ORDER

Plaintiff-appellant Nikita Kennedy, pro se, appeals from the September 23, 2009 judgment of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (Mauskopf, J.) granting summary judgment to defendant-appellee Hartford Insurance Company. We assume the parties' familiarity with the underlying facts and the procedural history of the case.

We review an award of summary judgment de novo, "resolving all ambiguities and drawing all permissible factual inferences in favor of the party against whom summary judgment is sought." Burg v. Gosselin, 591 F.3d 95, 97 (2d Cir. 2010) (internal quotation marks omitted). We will uphold such an award only if the record reveals no genuine issues of material fact and the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. See Miller v. Wolpoff Abramson, L.L.P., 321 F.3d 292, 300 (2d Cir. 2003); Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(c)(2).

Having reviewed Kennedy's arguments on appeal and the record of proceedings below, we affirm for substantially the same reasons stated by the district court in its thorough opinion. We have considered all of Kennedy's arguments and find them to be without merit.

Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
