UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FIRST CIRCUIT
No. 93-2266
THOMAS F. DOWD,
Plaintiff Appellant,
v.
ST. COLUMBAN'S RETIREMENT HOUSE, ET AL.,
Defendants, Appellees.
APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF RHODE ISLAND
[Hon. Francis J. Boyle, Senior U.S. District Judge]
Before
Torruella, Chief Judge,
Selya and Cyr, Circuit Judges.
Thomas F. Dowd on brief pro se.
Edward P. Sowa, Jr., Kevin S. Cotter, Gunning, LaFazia & Gnys,
Inc., on brief for appellees.
Per Curiam. For the reasons set forth at length in the
magistrate-judge's report dated September 9, 1993, we agree
that plaintiff's claim for damages for "injuries sustained in
his mission work" is barred on res judicata grounds. See
Dowd v. Society of St. Columbans, 861 F.2d 761 (1st Cir.
1988) (per curiam) (affirming dismissal of similar claim on
same basis). We likewise agree that plaintiff's claim under
the Americans with Disabilities Act is properly subject to
dismissal without prejudice for failure to exhaust
administrative remedies. The judgment is therefore affirmed.
