UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FIRST CIRCIUT
No. 95-1124
RALPH J. CATALDO,
Plaintiff, Appellant,
v.
CNA INSURANCE CO.,
Defendant, Appellee.
APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF MAINE
[Hon. Morton A. Brody, U.S. District Judge]
Before
Torruella, Chief Judge.
Selya and Stahl, Circuit Judges.
Ralph J. Cataldo on brief pro se.
Glenn H. Robinson, Thompson & Bowie on brief for appellee.
Per Curiam. We have read carefully the record in this
case and the briefs of the parties. We have considered the
various claims raised by appellant and find none to possess
merit. We affirm the grant of summary judgment to appellee,
essentially for the reasons given by the district court in
its memorandum and order, dated January 9, 1995.
Appellant's motion to "strike or vacate court order of
April 18, 1995," is denied as moot. While we agree with
appellee that the statements contained in appellant's
"notification of the creation of false and fictitious
evidence" were completely without foundation and were not
properly presented to this court, we do not deem it necessary
to grant appellee's motion to strike the "notification" as
the court has disregarded it in the consideration of this
case. See Fine v. Paramount Pictures, Inc., 171 F.2d 571,
575 (7th Cir. 1948).
Affirmed.
