GREGORY LANGADINOS,
Plaintiff, Appellant,
v.
AMERICAN AIRLINES, INC.,
Defendant, Appellee.
APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS
[Hon. Nancy Gertner, U.S. District Judge]
Before
Boudin, Chief Judge,
Torruella and Howard, Circuit Judges.
Gregory Langadinos on brief pro se.
Tory A. Weigand, Gary W. Harvey and Morrison, Mahoney, &
Miller on brief for appellee.
October 18, 2002
Per Curiam. After carefully reviewing the briefs and
record on appeal, we affirm substantially for the reasons given
by the district court. Despite notice and without excuse, the
appellant failed to carry out the court’s orders concerning
discovery and sanctions. He also burdened the court and the
appellee with needless delays. Robson v. Hallenbeck, 81 F.3d
1 (1st Cir. 1996); United States v. One 1987 BMW, 985 F.2d 655,
657 (1st Cir. 1993). The court did not abuse its discretion
in dismissing the action. Velazquez-Rivera v. Sea-Land
Service, Inc., 920 F.2d 1072 (1st Cir. 1990).
Affirmed. Loc. R. 27(c).
