No. 01-1135
DANNY M. KELLY,
Plaintiff, Appellant,
v.
NORTEL NETWORKS CORPORATION,
Defendant, Appellee.
APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS
[Hon. Douglas P. Woodlock, U.S. District Judge]
Before
Boudin, Chief Judge,
Torruella and Selya, Circuit Judges.
Danny M. Kelly on brief pro se.
John D. Hanify, Matthew T. Connolly and Hanify & King, P.C.
on brief for appellee.
September 13, 2001
Per Curiam. Upon de novo review, we affirm the
summary judgment dismissing plaintiff's complaint
substantially for the reasons stated in the district court's
order of dismissal. The district court did not abuse its
discretion in denying plaintiff's alternative request for
leave to amend the complaint since the proposed amendment
was frivolous (and, in all events, would have been futile).
Affirmed.
