FRIEDRICH LU,
Plaintiff, Appellant,
v.
WILLARD J. BOULTER III, ET AL.,
Defendants, Appellees.
APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS
[Hon. Reginald C. Lindsay, U.S. District Judge]
Before
Boudin, Chief Judge,
Selya and Lipez, Circuit Judges.
Friedrich Lu on brief pro se.
Daryl J. Lapp, with whom Daniel G. Cromack and Palmer and
Dodge were on brief for the appellees.
March 9, 2004
Per Curiam. After a thorough review of the record
and of the parties' submissions, we affirm. The district court
did not abuse its discretion when it dismissed this case
pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). Appellant refused to comply
with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Local Rules, and
the orders of two district judges. Under these circumstances,
the district court was well within its discretion to impose a
monetary sanction on appellant, and then to dismiss the case
when appellant refused to pay the sanction.
Appellant's "Informative Motion and Suggestion of
Recusal," which we treat as a motion to reconsider the court's
order dated November 21, 2003, is denied.
Affirmed. See 1st Cir. R. 27(c).
