Lessambo, pro se, Mount 3 Vernon, NY. 4 5 FOR DEFENDANTS-APPELLEES: Stephen L. Sheinfeld, William M. 6 Sunkel, Winston & Strawn LLP, 7 New York, NY. 8 9 UPON DUE CONSIDERATION, it is hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED, 10 AND DECREED that the District Court judgment is AFFIRMED. 11 12 Plaintiff-Appellant Felix I. Lessambo, pro se, appeals 13 from the September 29, 2010 judgment of the United States 14 District Court for the Southern District of New York 15 (Pauley, J.) dismissing the complaint on summary judgment. 16 We assume the parties’ familiarity with the underlying facts 17 and the procedural history of the case. 18 [1] This Court lacks jurisdiction to review the District 19 Court’s June 2009 decision granting the motion for partial 20 judgment on the pleadings because that decision was not 21 designated in Lessambo’s notice of appeal, as required by 22 Rule 3(c)(1)(B) of the Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure. 23 See Shrader v. CSX Transp., Inc., 70 F.3d 255, 256 (2d Cir. 24 1995) (holding that, when a notice of appeal specified one 25 district court order while failing to reference another, an 26 appeal from the unmentioned order cannot be considered). 27 Therefore, insofar as Lessambo challenges the District -2- 1 Court’s June 2009 decision, the appeal is dismissed for lack 2 of subject-matter jurisdiction. 3 [2] As to Lessambo’s remaining contentions, we affirm for 4 substantially the same reasons stated in the District 5 Court’s thorough opinion. 6 7 Finding no merit in Lessambo’s remaining arguments, we 8 hereby AFFIRM the judgment of the District Court, and 9 DISMISS the portion of the appeal for which we lack 10 jurisdiction. 11 12 13 FOR THE COURT: 14 Catherine O’Hagan Wolfe, Clerk 15 16 -3-
