UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FIRST CIRCUIT
No. 94-1586
ALFREDO HUALDE REDIN, ET AL.,
Plaintiffs, Appellants,
v.
FIRST FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK,
Defendant, Appellee.
APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF PUERTO RICO
[Hon. Raymond L. Acosta, U.S. District Judge]
Before
Torruella, Chief Judge,
Selya and Boudin, Circuit Judges.
Paul Martin Hualde, Maria Susana Costa De Hualde and Alfredo
Hualde-Redin on brief pro se.
Juan Rafael Gonzalez Munoz on brief for appellee.
Per Curiam. We have reviewed the record and
conclude that plaintiffs' action was properly dismissed for
the reasons stated in the magistrate's report. We briefly
add a few comments.
Plaintiffs are not entitled to the materials sought
under the FOIA because the FOIA does not apply to states or
Puerto Rico. 5 U.S.C. 551(1). The district court did not
have jurisdiction over plaintiffs' action under 12 U.S.C.
632. Diaz v. Pan American Fed. Sav. & Loan Ass'n, 635 F.2d
30 (1st Cir. 1980). Nor did plaintiffs adequately plead any
cause of action under 42 U.S.C. 1985 or Puerto Rico tort
law. We have considered all of plaintiffs' arguments,
including their contentions that they were improperly denied
discovery materials, that the district court abused its
discretion in denying plaintiffs' motion to amend their
complaint, that Judge Pieras' recusal should be effective as
of an earlier date, and that plaintiffs were prejudiced when
the district court adopted the magistrate's report prior to
the date plaintiffs' objections were due, and have found no
merit to the arguments.
Affirmed.
