Per Curiam. After full consideration of the parties'
Per Curiam
briefs and the record provided for our review, we conclude that
the district court properly granted the defendant-appellees'
motion to dismiss under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) for failure to
state a claim upon which relief could be granted. We reach this
conclusion substantially for the reasons stated by the district
court. Affirmed. See 1st Cir. Loc. R. 27.1. Costs to
appellees. Fed. R. App. P. 39(a).
