UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FIRST CIRCUIT
No. 97-1394
MAURICE D. YOUNG,
Plaintiff, Appellant,
v.
JOHN HANSEN, ET AL.,
Defendants, Appellees.
APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF MAINE
[Hon. Morton A. Brody, U.S. District Judge]
Before
Selya, Boudin and Lynch,
Circuit Judges.
Maurice D. Young on brief pro se.
William R. Fisher, Ivy L. Frignoca and Monaghan, Leahy, Hochadel
& Libby on brief for appellees.
October 24, 1997
Per Curiam. Pro se plaintiff Maurice Young appeals a
district court judgment that dismissed as frivolous his
second 42 U.S.C. 1983 complaint for damages allegedly
caused by his wrongful arrest and prosecution. See 28 U.S.C.
1915(e)(2)(B)(i). This court previously affirmed the
district court's dismissal of Young's first 1983 complaint
as frivolous. See Young v. Knox County Deputy, et al., slip
op. no. 95-1064 (1st Cir. Oct. 17, 1995). Having thoroughly
reviewed the record and the parties' briefs on appeal, we
agree that this case essentially duplicates Young's first
action. Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is
summarily affirmed. See, e.g., McWilliams v. Colorado, 121
F.2d 573, 574 (10th Cir. 1997); Hudson v. Hedge, 27 F.3d 274,
276 (7th Cir. 1994); Cooper v. Delo, 997 F.2d 376, 377 (8th
Cir. 1993); Local Rule 27.1.
