Per Curiam. After carefully considering the record and
briefs on appeal, we affirm for substantially the reasons stated by
the district court.
At summary judgment, the appellants failed to produce any
evidence that would tend to show a genuine dispute of material fact
concerning any claim. That is a fatal defect. Griggs-Ryan v.
Smith, 904 F.2d 112, 115 (1st Cir. 1990).
We would add that among other problems, their claims
against Douglas Zwirner were properly dismissed on the ground of
res judicata. In re Colonial Mortgage Bankers Corp., 324 F.3d 12,
15 (1st Cir. 2003). Their claims against others arising from
alleged perjury were properly dismissed on the ground of immunity.
Stoutt v. Banco Popular de Puerto Rico, 320 F.3d 26, 33 (1st Cir.
2003). And they offered no evidence that any defendant conspired
to hinder or abridge protected rights. Santiago v. Canon U.S.A.,
Inc., 138 F.3d 1, 6 (1st Cir. 1998); Cadle Co. v. Hayes, 116 F.3d
957, 960 (1st Cir. 1997); Libertad v. Welch, 53 F.3d 428 (1st Cir.
1995).
Affirmed. 1st Cir. Rule 27(c).
