R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6). We assume the 13 parties’ familiarity with the underlying facts, the 14 procedural history, and the issues presented for review. 15 16 “We review de novo the grant of a motion to dismiss for 17 failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted 18 under [Fed. R. Civ. P.] 12(b)(6).” Harris v. Mills, 572 19 F.3d 66, 71 (2d Cir. 2009). We consider the legal 20 sufficiency of the complaint, taking its factual allegations 21 to be true and drawing all reasonable inferences in the 22 plaintiff’s favor. See id. 23 24 Having conducted a de novo review of the record in 25 light of these principles, we affirm the judgment below for 26 substantially the same reasons stated by the District Court 27 in its decision, which is as well-reasoned as it is brief. 28 29 We have considered all of Gutierrez’s remaining 30 arguments and find them to be without merit. For the 31 foregoing reasons, the judgment of the district court is 32 hereby AFFIRMED. 33 34 35 FOR THE COURT: 36 CATHERINE O’HAGAN WOLFE, CLERK 37 2
